A time
Of refreshing
Has come, wash off that
Weariness, shake away worry
And soar

Sea breeze.
Gulls cry above.
Waves softly rolling,
Covering footprints in the sand.
Ocean
Sights and sounds delight weary soul,
Seeking tranquility,
Refreshing life,
Anew.

Blessings come down like rain

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. Psalm 72:6
On a recent road trip to Ashland, OR. my daughter and I visited Lithia Park, which is a beautiful 93 acre park in the city. In one part of it was a charming bridge, babbling brook and children’s playground. It was 107 degrees that day! The water near the bridge was shallow and perfect for wading, so off came our shoes and wading we went! Such fun and so refreshing!
It was at that point we noticed the name on the bridge was “Atkinson Memorial Bridge 1912”.
The bridge was built as a memorial to William Atkinson who was a prominent person in the founding of the town.
Surprise! Perhaps he is one of our ancestors! 🙂
