I first passed this country church on a delivery a couple months ago.

The building, with a small picnic shelter nearby, was well-kept. Seeing this church that afternoon, I knew that I’d have to photograph it sometime.

Several weeks later, my family was out for a Memorial Day drive to visit some cemeteries. We made a short side trip so that I could get a picture of this setting.

In a world that is marked with busyness and hurried reactions, this location speaks of peace and tranquility. It’s a great illustration of the kindness and mercies of God – asking us to rest and give Him our burdens.

Just like the gravel road that it’s along, this church asks us to slow down. It’s then, when we can truly enjoy the peace that the Father has to offer you and me.

Have a great day!
