I'm gonna read out the Beatitude for today, and again, it's from the First Nations version, because Sarah sent it me, and I thought it was brilliant.
So Creator's blessing rests on the ones who walk softly.
And in a humble manner, the earth, land, and sky will welcome them, and always be their home.
This is what's called play area of England called the Late District, and I just love being up there and it's by Conniston Waters.
So what I'd like you to do is just to bear in mind the verse I've just read out, and then let God speak to you as you gaze upon this picture, and I'm gonna read the verse again and then just let God just speak to you through it.
Creator's blessings rest on the ones who walk softly,
And in a humble manner,
The earth, land, and sky will welcome them.
And always be their home.
So, as you look at the picture, there may be… look for the shadows and where the sun lies as well.
There may be something from those that just touch you, or the glimpse of the water, and they, um, Conniston waters through the trees.
And if you see through the branches, you'll see blue sky.
With some clouds above.
But just let that image just soak in.
Is this something in the picture that makes you feel welcomed by God?
Is there something that makes your heart just so, so happy?
