LINGERING AT LAKE JUNALUSKA!

My daughter's well-planned day just for the two of us. 

A time of lingering by the lake where I went to a Methodist Camp in 1963.

"Be still and know that I am God..." (Psalm 46:10)

So many memories teenage memories. Ann Ryder Randolph from Princeton, Ky. Donald Davis, who worked in the bookstore at the camp and later became a nationally known storyteller. He's still telling stories and comes to Memphis every other year. MS Carolyn Meacham, later to marry hubby's dear friend Hal, & I were in the group picture under the cross but I never met her until years later after we were both married and discovered our shared adventure.

A time of quiet beauty: Giving glory to God and grace for me physically and spiritually....

Lingering in the labyrinth & Meditating in the Memorial Chapel. 

Praying in the chapel when 3 young men came in and went to the front and began quietly playing their guitars.

Recording my prayers for family, Wednesdays folks &, special needs to be prayed for by others in the in LJ prayer ministry.

An AMEN Time to a "Wonderful Wednesday."

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. (Isaiah 26:3, ESV)

A 1956 Clairol Ad slogan, “Only your hairdresser knows for sure,” rang true as my stylist asked, “Dotsy, are you lingering?” 

What was her clue? My words? My countenance?

Lingering? “Am I?” I asked myself repeatedly over the weekend. Does my schedule allow for times to linger? With the Lord? With family? With friends?

A dictionary search revealed a synonym for linger. Remain. When I remain, physically in my prayer chair as I commune with Him, I can then “remain” spiritually with Him throughout the day.

My mind settles on Him, stays on Him and remains focused on Him. The ensuing result is peace.

Peace synonymous with serenity.

Sereni-TEA. A perfect cuppa as I chose to linger during my “Tea with Thee” time today.
