You Can Run…

You can run, and you can hide….

But we’ll find you and take that picture!  🙂

Sometimes we all wish we could hide away…hide from our past, hide from responsibilities, hide from pain.  Crazily, we sometimes even want to hide from God, thinking that He won’t want to see us after what we did/said/thought/etc.  But He’s always there, ready to forgive and let us start over.  He’s watching over us as a loving Father, protecting and thinking of us even when we don’t know it.

“If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,’ even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You…..How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!  How vast is the sum of them!  Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand, when I awake, I am still with You.” – Psalm 139:11-12, 17-18

How amazing that is to me…I pray heaps of blessings on your day today.  Slainte, Lisa

I double dare you to watch this whole video and not smile.  And tap your feet, or hands, or maybe even get up and start jigging at the computer.  🙂  Brilliant and creative use of rhythm by the Kilfenora Ceili Band and Michael Donnellan.  By the time the dancing started I was laughing out loud at the wonderfulness of it all.  Have an inspired and creative weekend.  Slainte, Lisa

Not One Forgotten

singer

I used to want to be famous.   Someone who would sing up on a big stage, record albums every other year and then go out on tour.  I thought this was the epitome of happiness and fulfillment in life.  I went after this goal for many years, but one day, I realized that I was already happy.  I had a husband who loved me, a child who was a delight, a home.  I had a God who never forgets me or overlooks what I say.  To God, I am infinitely important.  Every so often the “man, I wish I had been a big famous singer”thought will bite again, but it passes, because I am so blessed.  Singing at my piano in my family room, with the immense and awesome audience of God, is the best. 

“Not one is missing, not one forgotten.  God the Father has his eye on each of you…”  – 1 Peter 1:1 Message

Be encouraged….to God you are a superstar.  🙂  Lisa

True, Noble, Lovely

“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.”            – Philippians 4:8

There are a lot of yucky, depressing, ugly and scary things in the world that try to steal my attention and terrify me.  It can happen by reading the news, watching TV, going to Walmart, even by revisiting things in your past that you’re not proud of.  But in Christ, I am a new creation, the old is past, the new has come.  He wants me to keep my eyes on Him, on the true and noble and lovely things that He has made and that are to come.  Like my dog when he’s cuddled up in his bed, looking like a big stuffed animal.  Like hugs from my sweet children who call me Mommy.  Like a kiss at the end of a hard day from the handsome man who loves me and married me.  Like a phone call from my parents, talking over life and realizing that we are so blessed.  The sun in the morning, a beautiful moon at night, fireflies outside my window.  True, noble, lovely.  Be blessed today, Lisa
