Life at the Wee Cottage in the Woods.....Our memories can be a garden of delight as well as a garden of pain. Some days we walk through this garden and stop and enjoy those memories that bring us joy...that bring a smile to our hearts. Some days we pause at those moments that are painful...at the memories of things that have hurt us. Together these memories make up the tapestry of our life woven in rich colors as well as subdued colors. The overall effect is of who we are in this journey of life.
The purpose of this blog is to capture the garden of my life with photographs, inspirational quotes, stories of life, recipes of friends and family shared, and my own thoughts. This site is my legacy in my words and photos............. |

Patience
I am patient and calm in the comfort of God’s presence.
Tuesday, November 24, 2020
Patience may seem elusive to me at times, especially during hectic moments at work or at home or when I feel as if there are not enough hours in the day to do what I need to do. I may feel anxious and stretched too thin. I help myself by taking a deep breath and saying silently or aloud, “Peace fills my soul.”
Peace truly does fill my soul, because I am one with the peaceful presence of God. Peace is my true reality, regardless of appearances. I remind myself of this truth throughout the day, pausing for a moment to rest in the presence of God. As I do, I am calm, knowing that the stressful situations I face are temporary moments that will pass. Patience becomes easier as I remember I am not alone. I worry less and relax more as I remain steadfast, patient, and at peace.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure.—Psalm 16:9
