Looking out our window yesterday morning caused me to stop in my tracks....
The Nun's 23rd Psalm
The
Lord is my pace-setter, I shall not rush.
He
makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals:
He
provides me with images of stillness,
which
restore my serenity.
He leads me in ways of efficiency through calmness of mind.
And His guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things to
accomplish each day,
I will not fret, for His presence is here.
His timelessness, his all-importance will keep me in balance.
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity
By anointing my mind with His oils of tranquility.
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruit of my hours for
I shall walk in the place of my Lord and dwell in His House forever.
