The Country: So Serene, So Simple

Shaun Bradford

When I say I want to lie in the grass and gaze up at the sky, this is what I’m talking about—the country.

So serene…

Earlier today, the smell of honeysuckles and fresh rain was in the air. I also noticed wild blackberry vines growing everywhere. Y’all, there’s nothing like picking a honeysuckle flower and tasting its nectar, nor picking wild blackberries and eating them off the vine. Oh…and the smell of fresh rain hitting the ground! Nothing comparable! All brought back memories of my summers with my grands (grand and great grand-mothers, aunts, and community ladies who helped raise me).

I miss them. I miss my summers. I miss the serenity and simplicity of it all.

Great memories. Blessed to have had those wonderful experiences.😌

God is good.♥️

Mellow Moments Are Necessary

Shaun Bradford
No phone. No music. No distractions—not even your thoughts. Just you and God.😌

Mellow moments are so necessary.

Sitting here looking out the window, wishing I was a carefree little girl again. It’s the perfect weather for playing outside or lying on the grass gazing up at the sky. The birds are having sooo much fun. I wish I could be out there with them, enjoying God’s glory. Maybe I’ll join them for a few minutes tomorrow or Thursday.

Yes, mellow moments are necessary. If they don’t happen naturally, be intentional about creating them. Believe me, your soul will thank you.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Protect Your Peace

Shaun Bradford

This weekend, I was told that nothing seems to bother me and that I’m always calm. Well, if you read my post from yesterday, “Look At God,” you’d know that’s not entirely true. Things do bother me, but I have learned not to dwell on them and to keep moving. It’s called moving and living in a space of peace.

Here’s what I have learned over the years. Peace is not something you can buy, nor can it be masked and displayed for others to see. True peace happens within. There’s this calmness you feel inside—even when chaos surrounds you and your mind begins to worry (yes, it still happens—you’re human)—this deep peace within never wavers. That’s the peace I’m referring to. It’s that peace only God can give! Listen, once you have it, you’ll do whatever you must to protect it.

Protect your peace.♥️

Love you much,

Shaun

Peace

Peace.

At the end of the day, we’re all longing for peace—peace of mind, a peaceful life, and world peace. It’s peace that we want.

As with love and hope, God is peace. And His peace transcends everything.♥️

Wishing you love and peace,

Just Know

Shaun Bradford

“He Has His Hands On You” by Marvin Sapp has been playing in my head for several minutes now, so I thought I’d share it with you. The song says, “Just know He [God] has His hands on you.”

You’re in God’s hands, and it really is a wonderful place to be. Praying you have a restful night.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
