Johnson's Bench

October 11

We call it Johnson’s Bench. It sits in a cemetery in Bloomfield Ct. On its stone face is this inscription:
“Sit ye here at sunset and dusk
Far from the maddening crowd
With this peaceful tranquility
Commune with God.”

Joy and I do that. In the fall the valley below becomes a sea of colors and then shadows as the sun sets behind a ridge. Thank you Mr. Johnson for providing this bench. Thank you Lord for this moment in time.

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
(Matthew 24:35)
