About Patty Perkins

Unknown's avatar
I'm Patty, writer of the devotional blog, Beside Quiet Waters. I love writing, reading and taking long walks with my camera. I've been married to my loving husband for 40 years. We have two grown sons, two lovely daughters-in-law, and two amazing grandchildren. I am thankful for a place to share spilled ink, in hopes of encouraging others to find daily hope and inspiration in God's Word.

God, Our Refuge

“Have mercy on me,

O God, have mercy on me,

for in you my soul takes refuge.

I will take refuge

in the shadow of your wings

until the disaster has passed.”

Psalm 57:1 (NIV)*
