Excitement building
Plans unfolding
Wheels are turning in my mind
Hope and newness and sounds
Swirling, tumbling, teasing, calling
Right around the next breath

“Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.” ~James 5:13b
Blessings and happiness and excitement and joy to you today, Lisa
“The value of a person isn’t measured on an applause meter; it’s measured in the heart and mind of God.” ~John Fischer
As a singer/songwriter, it’s all too easy to get caught up in rating your applause meter. Before I knew that God loved me unconditionally, irregardless of my performance, that’s how I worked, lived, was motivated. And I tell you, it’s no way to live. One mistake and you’re feeling pitiful about yourself, berating yourself at every lukewarm reception. But Jesus sees me differently. He loved me way before I took notice of Him. I can mess up every note, every song, and He will not change in His feelings toward me, the child that He has made. And that makes me priceless, untouchable by applause or lack thereof. Child of God, person made and loved by the King of the entire world. Way too much for my mind to fully understand, but what parts I can take in, I cherish. Blessings on your day today, Lisa
“This is what the Lord says: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.’ ” ~Jeremiah 31:3
“To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.” ~Jude 1-2
I could definitely use some of this….cliffsides, waves crashing on rocks, Irish music, hairpin turn roads, sheep, Irish stew… 🙂 Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did. Blessings on your day, Lisa
You are a bird; you’re riding the currents of the wind as it tears over Valentia Island. You sense rather than know that Portmagee and rest of Ireland is right over the water. There is a ridge way off in the distance that you may fly to, just to feel the pull of the mountain on your wings. But beautiful delicious fish beckon and taunt you from the sparkling waters. Where will you land first? Comment below; BE THE BIRD! 😉 Slainte, Lisa
Soft, sandy paths feel good on bare feet, but they are hard to walk on. The sand gives way underfoot, causing all the other muscles to work harder to gain momentum. (good workout though!) Hard packed sand, however, is great to walk on. Rocky paths are difficult, because you need to watch your step carefully so there are no turned ankles on the way.
No matter which type of path you’re walking today, the end of the path is worth it. There are oceans to be seen, seagulls flying overhead, and mountain vistas abounding. Walk the path, and hold tightly to the hand of God, who will give you the strength you need for the path you’re traveling. Slainte, Lisa
