best of 2009 The best place.

Day 11.

The best place.... another hard one.

I guess what does the meaning 'best place' mean to me? I think it would have to be somewhere out of the rat race of life. Somewhere that makes you take a breath and breathe in the fresh air and take a moment to relax and enjoy life.

A place where you can forget all your worries, fears and forget about your t0-do list, housework or whats for dinner.

A Sanctuary. ' a sacred place, a consecreted spot'.

A safe haven. 'a place of refuge'

A place a of refuge. ' a place of protection, safety or shelter'.

My Sanctuary would be my relationship with God. As a christian we believe God is our refuge and our safeplace. He is everywhere we go, whatever we may do. All we have to do is call on him.

I feel closest to my God when l am out in nature. Somewhere where l can admire God's handiwork. It can be a rainbow shining in the sky after a summer storm, a butterfly quietly fluttering by in the rat race of life, a beautiful waterflow cascading down a mountain or a lovely sunrise to begin another day.

It can be a favourite song playing on the radio, that just happens to play at the right time right when l needed to hear it, it can be a simple message from a friend saying they care or even hello.

i feel happy in my best place. I just need to go there more often.

My refuge, my strength, my God.
