Yearning, reaching, craving, longing
When all I need is right beside me, within me
Jesus is there, here, everywhere
Just a breath, a prayer away
Waiting to be all I need, all I want
Rest

When I travel, I tend to forget that everywhere I go is still home to someone. People live there, work there, get born there, go through good and bad times there. I’m taking pictures like there’s no tomorrow, taking it all in like fresh air. But to others, it’s what they see everyday and fight not to take for granted. I’ve noticed it where I live also. We live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and while I’m very used to the sight of the mountains, the hiking, the babbling rivers, others will travel in cars and big tour buses to stay in little cabins out here and experience it. So no matter where you’re living today, where you call home is special. I’m going to try to appreciate my corner of the world a little more today. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

Jesus promises that He is “with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20b) He’s not the leaving kind. He sticks by us, no matter what we’ve done and how we’ve treated Him. He forgives if we ask. He cleanses. He gives new beginnings with no account held. And nothing, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38) Rejoice and be glad! Blessings for your day, Lisa
“I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun – not because I can see it,
but by it I can see everything else.” ~C.S. Lewis

Thinking thoughts that only a two year old can…and only a two year old knows. 🙂 Enjoy thinking your thoughts today. Dream of beauty, joy, peace, God, love, laughter. Good things. Slainte, Lisa
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.” ~Philippians 4:8
