Moments on Leland Pond (take 5-This is Life)
Writing about peace, tranquility and nature! God’s gifts if we sit and listen.
Hi, this is my “new” sub-substack on Wendy’s Kitchen & More. It may be imperfect, or a lot of imperfects, grin. It’s meant to be fun and casual. I am enjoying you so much, I thought you might find some enjoyment for my love of nature too. Moments on Leland Pond my Why
Welcome to my little heaven on earth—take 5 “This is Life”
Moments on Leland Pond is where I feel close to God, the wonder of all He has to offer. Today’s inspiration comes from a memorable day on the pond with family and friends.
There’s something rewarding about viewing the organized clutter after a day on the pond. Bathing suits hanging to dry, life jackets resting, chairs wet from our suits, cooler 1/2 empty—a sense of peace and tranquility comes over me. I truly feel blessed to have enjoyed a special moment in time with close friends and family.
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.
2 Chronicles 15:7 NIV
I really love this verse of the day as it speaks to the reward after giving yourself over each day, to whatever you do. Then being able to enjoy what you worked for.
As a younger self, when I was around 30years old, I couldn’t shake this feeling of now what? You grow-up, graduate, marry, work…on and on. For me I was lost. Life & work and then what? Years later—after a windy road to where I am today, I can reflect on the meaning of it all. I heard once, and it stuck with me; life is a needlepoint embroidery. The top is a work of art—the bottom is a mess of strings. The wonder of it all, grin.
Today—As I look at the opening picture of the organized clutter, the meaning of my life unfolds into a beautiful life story.
We wake up early to get a kayak ride in—where the morning calm quiets your soul. Then later float on the pond to watch the sunset and listen to nature speak to us. Finish the day off with a fire that restores your spirits for the next day to come.
Life’s reward—Nature & Sunsets
Hope you enjoyed a few Moments on Leland Pond. We are happy you stayed. My time to try and let go and let God handle all my cares. When I do, beautiful moments unfold.
