“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.  But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

–Mother Teresa

In case you ever wondered, you matter, a lot.  The wonderful God who created you, also loves you with an everlasting love.  He knows you better than anyone else, will never ever leave you, and has a specific plan for your life.  If you’re still doubting, check it out. 🙂  Psalm 139, Jeremiah 29:11-13, John 3:16, Joshua 1:5.  Have a wonderful day!  Slainte, Lisa

Adventures Await

Another weekend is upon us.  The weekend before Thanksgiving, no less!  The question is….will I succumb to the frantic running about that seems to be inherent to this time of year, or will I try really hard to just breathe, and look at the sky, do what needs doing but no more, and enjoy the beauty and adventure of the day?  As a wife and mom, I definitely feel the pressure of “Oh no, I have done NO Christmas shopping yet!”  and “I really must get ready for the Thanksgiving car trip to family’s home”.  But there is another side of me this year that is resisting…a side that just wants to enjoy what’s right here, right now and not worry so much about what’s way ahead of me.  Because I feel that I’m missing so much of the now.  So right NOW I’m going to look at this picture for awhile, the sea, the rocks, the look of “what am I going to do first” on my children’s faces as they go down the ramp to the beach.  And then, well, who knows?  I will see what the day brings.  Enjoy every single adventure that your weekend holds for you.  Blessings, Lisa

“Be yourself when playing. Don’t try to copy anyone or you’ll never really be at ease playing. Just develop your own style naturally.”

That’s what I hear when I hear Beoga. Originality, humor, slight irreverence for form, fun. I LOVE them! If you haven’t heard them yet, check them out. Enjoy the two tunes, and tap your desk or bop your head if you’re more inclined. But just try to keep up with the bodhran player. 😉 Slainte, Lisa

Flying Free

These birds are above, free, soaring high, not bound by the confines of the ground below.  When I see a bird, my soul cries out to be with them, to be weightless and feeling the wind carrying me.  God knows that we long for more, to experience that freedom.  That yearning we feel is what draws us forward and upward, waiting for the day we can truly fly, forever.  If you need release and forgiveness, Jesus wants to do that for you.  Just ask.  And you will know for sure that one day you will fly.  Until then, we have the birds to show us how it’s done.  🙂  Blessings, Lisa
