A Good Nap

A Child who is happy rolling around on the floor wrapped up in her blanket

A Symphony Provided by the Birds of the Outside

The Sea of Green Turned White

My green crew after parading and feasting all day

Scene: St. Patrick’s Day Parade, March 16…..Sea of green, green people, green decorations, warm delicious Irish food.

Just a few hours later

Scene: St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, mere days before Spring….Sea of white, white trees, white bushes.

Hmmm….major special effects. 🙂 Have a wonderful green or white or whatever color day you’re having! Slainte, Lisa

Spring Is Coming

Posted on March 4, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

Before these precious little crocuses in my yard get squashed by the 6 to 12 inch snow the forecasters say is coming, I wanted to share them with you. Spring is coming…the flowers and budding trees and green grass and warmth on our faces. I have to tell you, I’m not a big snow fan, but I know complaining and moaning about it will only make it worse. So I’m going to focus on what I know is ahead, past the other side of the wet stuff.

There’s a great song by Steven Curtis Chapman called “Spring Is Coming” that he wrote when he and his family were facing very hard days. There are seasons, and after the hard times have passed, the warmth will return. It’s coming. 🙂 Blessings and love, Lisa

The Best Shepherd Ever

Posted on March 1, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

Weekends usually hold a lot of expectation for most people. Time to relax, time to be with family, time to reconnect with friends, time to pursue some grand adventure. And sometimes the expectation can be rather exhausting. “What are we going to do this weekend? I don’t know…what do you want to do?” etc. Sometimes it’s good just to rest and recharge for the next week, and not have so many plans. Here’s a great psalm for meditating on contentment and peace.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want
