In His presence. Sweetness. Still surrender. Quiet fullness. Refreshment. Waiting. God heart showing. Taking nothing. Wanting no one. But Him. In His presence…. He is enough.

I hold out sign to Hardworking One. Similar to the one daughter’s friend held out to her football game last.

The places you have been. The stories of people…..How Dear One always takes the time to stop for people. Talk to people. Pray […]
