I’m so grateful for Brother Wickman’s thoughts. Beautiful writing style and so gently tugged me back to the sweet miracle of life, and of looking for the daily moments God’s presence and blessings. My front porch sitting offers many opportunities to experience the miracle of a thinning veil between mortality and my ongoing eternity. It’s always there for the seeing if I but look.

I love to read and study and listen to music.. going out to my porch gives my mind and senses the opportunity to relax and meditate on the beautiful world around me.. blue sky and clouds, birdsong and the lovely sound of breeze through trees, the feel on my skin of air and sunlight or moonlight.. heaven feels close and I feel so unalone.. these are my favorite moments of prayer and miracle and revelation.

Thank you for your comment about my porch. Sometimes it is good to be self aware of why something as simple as front porch sitting can feel so spirit filled!
