God's Forest of Peace

[Debbie]

<center>Drifting through the Forest of Peace,
you can feel God's presence residing here;
Hear the birds sing praises unto Him,
and catch a glimpse of a grazing deer.

Feel the coolness of a flowing stream,
gliding along a carpet of slick stone;
Hear majestic music through the air,
as the stream trickles it's angelical tone.

A family of leaves twirl down the way,
riding on the softness of the wind;
You can feel God's awesome presence,
it's your soul He wants to mend.

Follow the path where chipmunks play,
having the peace that lies within;
And know God's Forest of Peace,
is waiting in your own spiritual den.</center>

Oh that is so me!!! I love the walks in the woods I take, fishing, sitting on the rock at my childhood stream!!! I have always felt the closest to God there.

I would love for you to come with me on a walk back behind my uncle's house. We spent the summer at the farm house he bought from my grandpa when I was a child. Back through the field is a pond, where we use to fish and swim. It had a black hose comming out of the ground, feeding into the pond with the coldest, bestest water to drink flowing from it. My grandpa kept a tin cup with a long handle on it hanging on a post, and we would get a drink when we were thristy.
Back behind the pond in the woods there is a crooked little stream which is so pretty. Down a ways there is a big rock which overhangs the little creek, very nice for sitting on. I use to spend alot of time there as a child..and have recently went back there twice!!
