Under the Sky
Today's Encouraging Word and Inspirational Message is brought to you by Penny Hurley, on behalf of the Compassionate Care Network - inspired by the Cox Reservation in Essex, Danby, Pam, Amy, of the "Missions/CE" group, ever-faithful Judy, Jeremiah, Franklin & Tucker, and the spirit of Rev. Tom, Jeanne, and Holly, and all those not able to explore this sacred place. And forever, my husband Michael.

Scripture: And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven. Genesis 1:20
Message: Under the Sky
It was a beautiful afternoon to get out under the open sky with its changing shades of blues, greys, glimpses of sun amid the clouds. We are surrounded by so many peace-giving jewels. Gift yourself and your loved ones with a short or long walk. Many have benches at intervals allowing you to rest, read, picnic, meditate, pray, take in the fragrance and the sights of the natural world.
A little early for spring blooms, and flowering trees, but they will arrive in their time⦠as will the many birds of land and sea as they rush back after their winter. Embrace the changes with each day.
Even Franklin and Tucker, our furry (& stuffed!) canine honorary members, took in the sights! Tucker did not want to leave the bird observation platform.
Bring whatever or whoever you love.
Be renewed.
