The Center
Slowed to a crawl upon the road
Engulfed in fog, vision slowed
The way ahead lies in the center
The yellow line giving path and guidance
The mountain ahead is cloaked in white
Her beauty veiled, and all is quiet
Fixing my eyes upon the center
I see a glimpse of majesty and grandeur
The days ahead are foggy, unclear
But keeping my eyes on the center
On the Beginning, the End, the Everything In Between
On the Lord Jesus Christ, the Center
He will keep me safe; He will reveal the grandeur.

No Words, Only Music
I have been playing the piano this morning. Longing, sweet, melancholy melodies that express what is inside me in a way that words can never do. Pouring frustrations out upon the keys. Feeling the feelings as they come.
Healing through the keys, through the instrument, through the music. One note at a time.
Love, Lisa
If you are looking for a listening or playing recommendation this morning, I heartily and unreservedly recommend Benny Andersson, Piano.
Christmas Blessing
The light of the Christmas star to you,
The warmth of home and hearth to you,
The cheer and good will of friends to you,
The hope of a childlike heart to you,
The joy of a thousand angels to you,
The Love of the Son,
And God’s peace to you.
-Irish Christmas blessing
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! Love, Lisa
Tucked In
As a child, it was comforting to be tucked in, snug and warm in a familiar soft blanket. When the blankets were all around, it seemed that nothing could get me from under the bed or outside in the hallway. And when the bad dreams came, a hand of comfort from a caring parent could calm and send me back to sleep.
So I was so encouraged this morning to discover a treasure of a Bible verse:
“You hem me in – behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.” – Psalm 139:5
Tucked in by God. Protected by His blanket of angels. Patted back to calm by His mighty hand.
What an image of peace. Of His great love for us. Of protection. Of safety.
You are loved, I am loved. Beyond imagination and measure.
Love, Lisa
