Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind. 
Ecclesiastes 4:6 ESV

I recently took a couple of weeks off from this blog, because I felt God calling me to refocus and unload many activities. Though I am back to posting, I have shed some activities and am trying to be careful not to commit to things without prayer. Today’s poetry is a reflection from my journey, and I hope it may help you on yours. Have a blessed Memorial Day everyone, as we all take a day to quietly reflect on the sacrifices made for the peace we now enjoy.

Will there never more be silence
When the heaven fills with songs
And the voice of men and angels
Shout all praise to God belongs

When the mountains leap for gladness
And the forests clap their hands
Will there no place of quietness
In God’s almighty plans?

Oh, we may have a calm assurance
That when evening shadows flee
He has promised lambs may come and rest
And with their Shepherd safely be
