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.

A quiet place

“…Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Mark 6:31 (NIV)

…..

My rest is in Jesus

My strength and my song,

No matter the workload—

The day short or long.

…..

He settles my heart

Before the task,

Refills the tank—

If I but ask.

…..

Alone with him

Is surely ideal,

A chance to recoup—

Restore and heal.

…..

Time with Jesus

In a quiet place,

Prepares the heart—

For the hectic race.
