“Are you tired? Worn out?
Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

I like the long row of benches, and the Scripture too.
Loved this post - some of my favorite verses.

Love these scriptures...some of the well loved and well marked ones in my Bible. I'm right next to you at Holley's this week.
When your Thursday blog post publishes, «Louis» will link to your Lenten Devotion - and he has a Linky for Lent as well.
"unforced rhythms of grace" LOVE that.
so true. Beautiful picture that conveys the idea of perfect rest - found in Him.
I bet that is a beautiful place of rest in the summer time. It is beautiful now - it makes me want to walk faster. Thank you for encouraging me through your scripture choices to find rest through Him.
I love this portion of scripture in The Message. Thank you for sharing at The Weekend Brew!
Three beautiful verses and that image is so peaceful. Thank you for sharing with Three Word Wednesday.
