The waves crash and fill the senses like the voice of God
The sound washes to shore peacefully like the whisper of a breeze
Seagulls dive and call like clarions on the wind
Salt air blows and clears your mind like a good night’s sleep
Soft sand surrounds your feet like the sweetest down
Peace descends on your heart….you are there, you are loved, all is well.
Slainte, Lisa
May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer
Walk today knowing that God loves you so much. Blessings, Lisa

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. – Victor Hugo
A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything. – Irish Proverb
I don’t know about you, but I could use some good laughter right about now…go ahead, you know you want to. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

There are many things that I don’t get…stuff that evidently is God’s domain, stuff He has reasons for that I just cannot understand. And on hard days, that just has to be enough. It’s what I grab onto and hold onto with all my might. God’s got it…God’s got it. Some lyrics from U2’s Yahweh song really say it well:
“Take this soul, stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul and make it sing, sing…
Yahweh…Yahweh….always pain before a child is born
Yahweh…Yahweh….still I’m waiting for the dawn…
The sun is coming out…the sun is coming up on the ocean…
Take this heart, take this heart, and make it break…”
(U2, “Yahweh”, HTDAAB)
He is teaching me something good, and it will be alright. I’m waiting for the dawn, the sun that I know is coming out over the ocean. I’ll be there with a big smile on my face and arms open wide to meet it. Slainte, Lisa
“The beauty of the earth, the beauty of the sky
The order of the stars, the sun, the moon…
Their very loveliness is their confession of God.”
– Augustine
Look! God is with you, where you are. All the beautiful things around you are Him saying, “I’m here…I love you.” 🙂 Blessings, Lisa
