Retreat

Earlier this summer, I was able to spend a few days at my favorite "retreat" place. Although the Prairie Oasis is actually a bed-and-breakfast, it is very special to me as a place to rest and hear from God. So I wrote a bit of inelegant poetry about it:


The Beautiful P.O.
(may be sung to the tune of
"Where the Healing Waters Flow"

How the sister-campers smile
At the beautiful P.O.!
They are happy all the while
At the beautiful P.O.


Chorus- Where the healing breezes blow
At the beautiful P.O.
There is peace and rest and love
At the beautiful P.O.

What a lovely place to be,
At the beautiful P.O.!
Mind and spirit are set free
At the beautiful P.O.

Napping, reading, thinking, praying,
At the beautiful P. O.—
All this happens without our saying
At the beautiful P.O.

I wish for you a similar place of rest and spiritual attention!
