The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit.
Ps.22:1,2
Where do I find rest? Green pastures. Where do I find refreshment? Still waters. God's creation is an elixir for a tired and drooping spirit.
I'm literally looking out onto green pastures of an adjacent school grounds with a spring morning sun blazing across it. A restful scene indeed.
As Jesus exhibited concern for the physical wellbeing of the five thousand before he fed them in today's Gospel, God has compassion for me today. I've had a busy and emotionally tiring week. Today can be a day of green pastures and still waters.
Thank you Lord for the green pastures and still waters you place into my life when I need them. Mary Mother of Jesus, please pray for me.
