Soul at Rest

My daughter posted this picture this morning as I enjoyed the morning, warching the hawks and herons fly and the manatees swim in the lake. She commented, "A soul who is at rest in God can rest even in the midst of storms." My second day in Miami was srarting all wrong, and was only going to get worse. Welcome to Miami!

The truth is that a soul at rest can be easily shaken. Just like the wind caising ripples on the surface, even the most anchored sould experiences the rapids. It takes time to get imto the rythm of a new place. The traffic in this great city is constantly flowing and it takes time get around. 

The first thing this morning was to discover my car had been towed. It doesn't matter that there was no signage. Renee was very level headed on how to deal with it, and all ended well.

As the day went on the pressure on my held built up. I had been asked yesterday if i was having allergy problems. I didnt know what they were talking about. But i sure did today!

With a brain that already works slower because of age, and living a chilled lifestyle, it comes to a headache brings it to a completr stop. So it eas very sweet for my daughter to say i had a soul at rest because it sure didnt seem so later in the day. 

This is the thing about being at rest "in God". Whatever unrests the waters comes and goes, God is the only constant. That grounding will always bring your soul back to calm, even if temporarily ruffled.

    Miami is one of my most favorite places. Unlike the average tourist, for me the attraction is not the usual hype of beaches, fancy hotels and night clubs. I invite you to travel with me through my blog as I revisit the diverse neighborhoods that I grew to love during the twenty years I lived in Miami.
