Still Waters is the second Jane Rubietta book I read during my devotional time in the morning. I didn't interact with any of the journaling questions, activity options, or silence suggestions. Still, I appreciated the topics covered: rest, depression, creativity, anger, control (a challenging chapter), happiness, worry, hospitality, and love. Rubietta quoted Mother Theresa as saying, "We are all pencils in the hand of God." That's a lovely image! I liked the title from a Robert Frost poem, "Happiness Makes Up in Height for What it Lacks in Length." How desperately I needed the chapter called "Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite: Working on Worry and Fret." I always tell my kids that worry is my superpower. If only it were a positive thing, instead of the lack of trust it truly demonstrates. This book nurtured positive things in my soul.
