Meditation Verse: Psalm 69 \u201cDraw near to my soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while ago I was encouraged to think about my key values and pick five, one of these was thoughtfulness which leads to soulfulness. I often will describe an experience as \u201ctouching my soul\u201d, this will be when I just think about nothing but the natural environment where I\u2019m standing at that moment, it is a challenge to my busy mind to slow down and breath in the beauty of my surroundings but completely refreshing and comforting. I\u2019m sure that in these moments we are a little bit closer to God and He draws near to our soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t have to travel far to connect in this way, take a really close look at a dandelion growing out of a crack in the pavement and remember that the buzzing bee is just as attracted to what we call a weed as it is to a fabulous sunflower. Passers by may think you are a bit odd but take the time to let God\u2019s creation and beauty lift your soul this Holy Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luke 12. \u201c27 <\/sup><\/strong>\u201cConsider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meditation Verse: Psalm 69 \u201cDraw near to my soul.\u201d A while ago I was encouraged to think about my key<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1062"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1063,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
