September….Where Did You Go?

998 Is it just me, or is time zooming by at the speed of light?  Sometimes I feel like I have stumbled into a time machine unbeknownst, and have zoomed far into the future.  🙂  Yes, it’s October, and the challenge?  To try to savor each moment of each day that God has granted me here in this month.  To enjoy more, to be aware more, to love more, to not miss the blessings as they come.  Pray for me, and I will pray for you.  Slainte, Lisa

Father and Son

 

987

The father sits, close enough to help, but far enough to free

The son explores, tests, sees, hears, lives

The father watches and waits for the moments

The son asks, listens, loves

I love, love, love this picture of my husband and son in Ireland when he was small.  So much in one image, so many good memories.  Enjoy your day today, and be blessed.  Lisa

In Church

1417

What is a church?  Is it four walls, beautiful stained glass, soaring organ music?  Is it people who love God, gathering together?  This church ruin in Ireland once held people, coming together to worship by the sea.  Is it not a church because the roof is gone?  Or does Jesus hold all things together by His love and grace and mercy?  Questions, questions, but He holds all the answers.  We just trust, and worship, and love, and continue on towards Him.  Slainte, Lisa

Chilled Out

1370

These sheep look pretty mellow;  I remember as we took their picture, they felt no need to get up or run away.  They were just relaxing.  It’s hard to do that; just relax, stop worrying, stop working for a moment.  There tends to be a running to-do list in my mind.  And work is good.  But sometimes I need to just sit, pray, breathe, be.  Chill out like these sheep.  So I’m going to try to do that, right now.  Ahhh….   🙂  Have a great and blessed day, Lisa
