Peace

It was a great blessing to my life that I was able to go to North Carolina to Girl Scout camp in my early teen years. I love the vision I hold in my heart of those twilight evenings sitting on the side of the hill overlooking the lake and singing. My favorite song was Peace I Ask of Thee Oh River. Whenever I’m in the mountains, it comes back to me.

This week, Ed and I have enjoyed the peace of sitting by a river. And in my heart, I sing the song I learned at Camp Shirley Rogers:

PEACE I ASK OF THEE OH RIVER Peace I ask of thee, oh river Peace, peace, peace When I learn to live serenely Cares will cease From the hills I gather courage Visions of the days to be Strength to lead and faith to follow All are given unto me.

Peace I ask of thee, oh river Peace, peace, peace
