Our photograph captures a quiet, peaceful scene beside a calm river, filled with cool colours and gentle reflections that give the whole image a soothing atmosphere. In the foreground, dark blue water stretches across the lower half of the picture. The surface is smooth with only slight ripples, like soft breathing across the river. Tiny white specks dot the water here and there, and the deep blue reflects the sky above. The reflections of trees and a building shimmer gently in the water, slightly blurred and wavy, giving the impression of a painting slowly moving. Along the opposite bank of the river is a dense strip of reddish and brown shrubs. Their thin branches form a soft, textured edge between the water and the land. The colours are warm but muted, suggesting late winter or early spring. Behind these shrubs stands a pale building with a steep triangular roof, its light walls catching the sunlight. The building feels quiet and still, almost tucked into the landscape rather than dominating it. Tall trees rise around the building. Some are evergreen and dark, forming deep green shapes, while others are bare, their delicate branches reaching upward. A tall, narrow tree stands to the left like a silent sentinel. Overhead, thin branches hang into the top of the frame, gently framing the scene like natural curtains. Above everything is a clear, rich blue sky. The sunlight is bright but soft, giving the scene a crisp clarity without harshness. The still water, the quiet building, and the delicate reflections all combine to create a sense of calm, as though the world here has slowed down and taken a peaceful breath. Finally, our picture is finished with a simple, white border frame.

“This season invites us to consider our ending and our beginning and look forward to the abundance of spring, and, for those of us who follow Jesus, the abundance of life that Jesus’ dying and rising bring to the world.”

#PauseForThought
Most of the time people look at how further they have to go & don’t look back at what they had to overcome.
I was in coma some time back, had two cardiac arrests, had to learn to stand & walk again.
I am proud of getting through that.
The road of life can teach us many things.
Time:
Yesterday is the past.
Tomorrow is the future.
Today is a gift, that’s why it is called the present.
Try not to worry about the future, as at some point the future will become the present.
#PauseForThought #WiseWords #Time
Time & You:
A person can give up time for you.
A person makes time for you.
There is a difference between these two things, the second one is the one that is most important, as a person who makes time for you, has done in all what they were doing just for you.
#Quote #PauseForThought #Time
People with a big heart and a beautiful soul see the beauty around them and in everything they look at.
So its a reflection of ones soul through their eyes.
#PauseForThought #Quote #WiseWords
You:
Your past does not need you.
Your future needs you.
That’s why you matter.
The future will one day become the present.
Time is like clouds.
Clouds are currently in the present, but given time, they float on by.
Once clouds have passed, the future can be very bright.

#PauseForThought in Holy Week on @suffolksound.bsky.social with @robdunger.bsky.social is going to be about the journeys we all take, not only the journey to a ‘Hill far away’.
However we travel and wherever we are going we don’t need to travel alone.
