Light

In all these photographs, I am drawn to the light.  I want to be in the green place, the place with sunlight warming my skin, the place where I can see clearly.  When a child or any of us feel afraid, we are drawn to put on a light, and it calms us.

“Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you.  The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.  Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” – Jesus, John 12:35b-36

“I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” – Jesus, John 12:46

“I am the light of the world.” – Jesus, John 9:5b

“In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”  -John 1:4-5

Run to the Light, and don’t look back.  Slainte, Lisa

How Will I Spend My Coin?

“Life is a coin.  You can spend it any way you wish, but you can spend it only once.”

-Lillian Dickson

The 5 year old tightly clutches the purse that holds her coins.  Four bright shiny quarters that she has brought to the shopping center.  She wonders what these four coins will bring into her day.  Then she sees it.  The colorful, musical carousel with four gleaming horses traveling in their circular route.  That’s it…that’s what she wants to spend her quarters on.  They clink into the slot, and the child selects the most beautiful horse of all to sit upon.  She smiles and enjoys the ride; the people who watch her enjoy the sheer happiness of this moment, of the beauty of being alive in God’s beautiful world, of seizing the seconds.  When the ride is over, the child and the people are still happy, because they now have a wonderful memory of the music, the smile, and the moment.   Slainte, Lisa

They Love Each Othee (Yes, I Meant That)

My youngest daughter used to always say when she was little, “We love each othee.”  She meant “other”, but it was so cute, and it’s kind of our family thing to say to her now.  Well, here is the sweetest video of a baby elephant and a sheep who “love each othee.”   Come on, it’s short, and it will make you smile.  And smiling’s a good thing.  Happy weekend!  Slainte, Lisa

Greatest Love Ever

 

An amazing carving of Jesus at the Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary.

“Love each other as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” – Jesus  (John 15:12-13)

I’m so thankful for this amazing love and grace.  Have a blessed weekend.

Slainte, Lisa
