“Window”
Upward, soaring ever higher
My soul wants to fly
Closer, closer to the One
Who makes all things right
Looking, seeing all that is
But loving irregardless
That’s the One I need to clean
This window, this soul, this life

Do you remember this? Flying higher and higher on your swing until you felt like you were a bird or Peter Pan or some other invincible flying object? The best of times, for me as a child, was swinging on my swing.
May your weekend be filled with invigorating breezes, sun on your face, and a smile in your heart. Fly. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
When you are in the Caribbean, sun protection is crucial. The sun is warm and beautiful and relaxing, but can also pack quite a punch on your skin. So the weathered palm branch huts, the sheltering trees along the edges of the soft white beaches, all provide that welcomed protection after swimming in the perfectly clear blue waters for a while.
When I was younger I used to see God’s guidelines as restrictions, laws, things that were no fun and not very loving. But with time, I now see that God’s guidelines are full of love, protection, mercy, and grace. Because He loves me, He wants me to be safe, to be protected. How wonderful. Like sitting under a big palm tree on a hot sunny beautiful day. Slainte, Lisa
Being 3 months old, being a puppy, having your whole world turn snowy overnight…Finnegan having an awesome day! Hope your day ahead is full of adventure and new things. Slainte, Lisa
Having scaled the snowy mountain, Finnegan holds fast, legs braced.
“I know that grass is down here somewhere!” Finnegan digs in vain.
Finnegan surrenders to the comforts of a warm couch and a nap.
