Peace, contentment, non-hurried pace, calmness, sunshine, wide-open spaces with trees surrounding green grasses…birds singing…
That’s what green pastures mean to me.
Green pastures is not only a real place, but I believe it is to be a place of mind. We are to have green pastures of mind.
It’s springtime right now. Let’s practice springtime in the mind. Wake up each and every day with feelings of green pastures in our mind. Cultivate green grasses of peace and contentment in your mind every morning. Remember and think of good things you have or are working on. Think of walking in the green pastures of calmness as you go about your morning. Find one routine that brings you happiness to repeat every morning, something you look forward to.
We don’t have to wake up in the thistle-patch or thorn tree of mind. We can choose to wake up and lie down in the green-pasture mind.
Oh there’s a lot of commotion going on in other dry and barren pasture lands, bugs, vultures, discontent, but I, we, can choose the green pasturelands to dwell in, dwell in peace, dwell in hope, dwell in contentment, dwell at a slower pace where we can hear the birds sing and notice the flowers.
It really is that simple. We can choose.
Choose with me to dwell in green-pastures of mind starting now.
