On our Lenten journey this week we managed mud puddles and trekked the desert, but hopefully we will also find a few green pastures along the way.  Psalm 23: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters…He restores my soul…”

This is not exactly ‘green pastures’ but a lovely green vineyard @ Groot Constantia, the oldest winery in South Africa.   Years ago we visited on a rainy, overcast day (like today)… but gloomy skies made the green pop.

Maybe there’s stuff in our lives that’s glooming us out a bit right now — let’s allow God to lead us into His green pastures. Hey, we might have to lay down for a little while… & sip from still waters… but all of that could be part of God’s restoring & renewing our spirits (& hearts & minds : )

i know, i know — this pic already turned up once this week. But hey – it sure looks like still waters to me… (& maybe not all of you caught it the 1st time.)

grace, peace & green pastures
