Wordless Wednesday: Come sit a spell
Author: Mama's Empty Nest
Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts
Oh my stars – I could SOOOO use that porch about now. God is saying learn to say no, stop, and listen to me. That certainly looks like a great spot to do just that. Blessings!

Alene, that’s it exactly. I too need to listen to God telling me when to say no, when to stop, and when to rest. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Blessings to you too!

Isn’t THAT the truth? Maybe that country store owners thought the more you sat on their front porch, the more you’d think about going back in the store to buy more. HA.

Took that photo at a country store last fall. I just loved the line of rockers (of course, they were all for sale) and right now with all the craziness that is wedding prep at our house, I’d love to just sit a spell. And you are so right, Dianna, I know we would spend a long time rocking and chatting! Sounds fun, doesn’t it?? 🙂
