{Day 285}

Even though there were a lot of people around it was incredibly quite.  The air almost seemed to envelope me and the silence was so tangible that I could practically hear my own thoughts.  The crunching of the leaves along certain parts of the path only heightened my awareness of the stillness.  It was as if I was in a perfect scene from a snow globe.  I smiled inwardly because while I may have looked quite alone to anyone observing me I was very much taking a walk with Jesus.  This may seem strange but it really isn’t.  Just knowing that he was there and talking with him was so beautiful.  Bliss really.  Also I felt a delight and peace knowing that I didn’t have to talk and that he knew exactly how I was feeling.  It felt like he created that time just for me with a perfect atmosphere.  The air seemed almost sultry and I could smell the fragrance of the trees tingling my nose and making it happy.  And as dusk set in more fully on the park I noticed that the Narnia looking lamp posts along the winding path were illuminated.  It felt like I had stepped right into a fairytale book.  Today’s Thankful30:

Day 6:  A walk by myself (yet not really alone at all) in a picture perfect park at dusk.

I’d love to hear what you are thankful for today in the comments! 🙂
