The Quiet Moments of Home Ministry Assignment
I was traveling this weekend to speak at a church in Alabama and decided to break up the trip by staying in Calvary, GA (population: 161) with my mother’s brother, Jack.
I always enjoy the quiet, slower pace of a small town. It was refreshing to hear Uncle Jack’s stories and to get caught up on all the family news. We had dinner at a local restaurant filled with young families who had obviously spent the day outdoors fishing, hunting or hiking. The day was finished by sneaking a taste of the freshly baked Christmas fruit cake and a cup of tea.
I love these quiet moments.
The next morning my travels continued but not before stopping to take a picture of a small bench under a pecan tree near the fields of cotton. It seemed that someone had created the perfect spot to sit, be quiet for a moment and reflect on God’s faithfulness and blessings.
We have such busy lives. It is important to take time to find a quiet place to sit, remember and be thankful.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
