On this day, I was feeling very weary and tired and needed to get away. My husband, dog and I set out to check out the pond, to see if the paths were still walkable, if cows were there yet, and if the pond looked the same.
The paths were still there
some of the land was cleared but no cows yet
my beautiful pond. . .ahhh
the beauty is still there
even my dog was enjoying this day
as well as my husband
my favorite husband and my favorite dog
and my favorite pond. . .just what I needed this day
the 23 psalm comes to mind. . .
He leads me beside quiet waters
He restores my soul
we just sit awhile and breathe it all in
time to walk back up the path
husband decides to build a fire in the pit for dinner
guess what we had
my dog is hoping. . .
she's waiting patiently. . .
she got the last bite
air became chilly and the fire was warm
it smelled so good
the fire died out and a perfect day was ending, but my spirit was refreshed, there was joy in my heart, my hubby and I walking back to the home hand in hand with dog behind us. . . . .and we all smelling like smoke :)
What a great day!
To You oh Lord, I lifted up my soul and you refreshed me once again
My cup overflows
Thank you Father!

Beautiful Kristin! GOD is so good. Sometimes He just fills us up with things He knows that will make us happy!
God bless you today...Chelle
Sounds like a perfect day, Kristin. I love when God provides these moments for us. And there's nothing better than the smell of wood smoke. :)
Our God is so awesome! He gives us precisely what we need when we need it most and isn't it amazing when our hearts discover that its the simplest of things that bring us happiness and peace? Rejoicing with you in your refreshing.. sounds like a perfectly wonderful day to me :)
Love & Hugs
Sounds so peaceful, Kristin. I really like the idea of building that fire and roasting hotdogs. . .
Have a great week, Kristin, and may God give you peace.
love,

Hi Kristin,
I haven't visited you in a while, so I wanted to stop in and say "hi" and also let you know that I've started a blog design business in case you're interested. My rates are reasonable and I would love to work with you on creating a design uniquely "you".
Here's my URL: http://anoriginalbelle.blogspot.com/p/design.html
Let me know what you decide! Take care and have a beautiful day!
Kristin, sorry I’ve been gone so long, you know what this time has been for me, you’ve been by, thank you for being so nice. Anyway, so sweet, "the still waters." – It was a beautiful word picture – AND a picture – picture. No matter what – something tells me that the pond will remain. And it's a beautiful pond – I know what you hearted. All those pictures put me there – your words supplied the frame for the pictures. And I'm smiling. Smiles have been rare this last month – so thank you – breathing. Is feeling far more comparable – like still waters. God bless and keep you and all of yours my friend.
Kristin, I was just coming over to check on you when your email came. Such a wonderful place. I'm praying they'll keep the pond! I am so glad you had such a wonderful day and you were refilled. And I am green with *envy* that you are allowed to have an outdoor fire! Love that smell! Blessings to you, dear one!
