On Being Under God’s Care

“A feather on the breath of God.” Hildegaard von Bingen

I’ve long loved this quote.  I first heard of it during a series on chorale music that I attended years ago at our former church.  I remember that it was on a mid-spring afternoon; the sun came streaming through the long, arched windows.  On hearing the words being spoken, I closed my eyes and breathed deeply as if to capture the peaceful, reticence of the moment.  I remember feeling so much at peace, as if I were being bathed in love.  Indeed, “a feather on the breath of God,” the perfect depiction of being safe and secure under God’s care.

May you experience that kind of moment…and may it carry you throughout your day.

In His Peace,

Felecia
