“As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.” - Stephen Graham, The Gentle Art of Tramping
Crisp November days beckon and the door opens…
A door to adventure.
A door to God’s glory. Eyes open, attentive to His handiwork.
A door to relationship. Contemplating. Laughing. Listening. Loving.
Don’t let the November days pass you by, lost in the haze between Halloween and Christmas. For just a moment, ignore the ads, the Santa blow-ups that already fill neighborhood yards, the December social calendar and accompanying to-do lists. For now, choose instead to savor November’s gold. Open the door…
Shannon,
This was beautiful, and, a gentle reminder of what we should focus on each day. God’s handy-work, our family, love, health, peace. . . . .
Great job, thank you!
Oh yes… I do like the photos and the quote! Thanks for highlighting it for me. I hopped on yesterday and looked at your past several posts. Sweet, Shannon. Keep it up!
This was so so beautiful , Shannon.
I “need” the outdoors, November or not. I even went out in the rain today.
Thanks for sharing this.
Got to love the pictures I use to go to place CAlled Towners Woods those pictures reminded me of that park and lake. I remember going there when it just snowed, single digits, each step was crisp yet the sun came out and I smiled no longer cold, but thanking God for it all, this blog reminded me to get out more
thanks
JOE
