Psalms 46:1-3, 9,10a π
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God...
Glad you were able to visit the NE. Since you love forests I hope you can visit (God willing) the SE Appalachian mountains. Much better than Shenandoah IMO π€
The Lord bless you and your family and direct your steps in His perfect will. π

> With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Job 29:12-13 π
