Comforting Words and Ecstatic Experiences — reflections on the Psalms.

Psalm 139 v5
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me
so high that I cannot endure it...

Even looking at a rich blue sky through a copper beech can bring tears to one's eyes.
Or to look at distant mountains with wispy clouds crowning the summits.
Thousands upon thousands of riches that are ours — if we are willing to open our eyes.
But not just nature, life is full of little things that surprise us with joy beyond our understanding.


There are times when we can feel so uplifted in the Spirit than it is hard to endure!

After a disturbed night due to a nearby late party, I felt really weary this morning. But sitting gazing out of the window at the sky, trees, and brilliant blossoms caught in the morning sun, uplifted and refreshed.
Joy is just a blink away.
