For your Thursday’s listening enjoyment, I present Cara Dillon and her outstanding band, or…see below. Check out the awesome low whistle solos in the middle and ending of the song.
For those of you who prefer a more pastoral video, here are some sheep, who may be talking, may be singing, or just may be hungry. Regardless, they are cute and entertaining. 🙂
Sing your own beautiful song today…however the sound comes out. Slainte, Lisa
Reflective pictures for a Wednesday. Take a moment and breathe…feel better? I do. 🙂 Lisa
There’s a man that lives in a neighboring town who rides his red tractor around town every morning around 9 o’clock. I have seen him every day as I was driving my daughters to day camp. And he made my day, every day, because every day he has a HUGE smile on his face. This man must be in his 90’s, and he is unable to drive his car anymore, but he is living “carpe diem” (seize the day) to the max. I wish you could see him; his smile is infectious. He seems to relish these moments on his tractor, moments of freedom and independence and driving, more than I relish my moments. I want to be like him; he’s one of my new heroes. I would love to take his picture, but I don’t want to make him self-conscious. I just want him to keep loving life, and appreciating every moment, sitting and driving through town on his red tractor.
Drive your tractor, and please, put a smile on for him. Slainte, Lisa

My husband found this double-hearted leaf yesterday and brought it to me.
It had fallen from a tree and was laying, unappreciated, in the grass until then.
The leaf’s hearts are delicate, and easily torn and ruined without care and love.
And sadly, by this morning, it was starting to dry up and wither apart from its tree, the vine, the branch which gave it life.
Love is like that. We need each other to be tender, nurturing and caring in order to live and thrive and grow properly. We need to appreciate each other and not let others just lay around unseen. We need desperately to be hooked up to our life source, Jesus, who gives us abundant life beyond imagining.
Find your leaf today and love it and nurture it and really see it. Slainte, Lisa
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” – Jesus, Revelation 3:20
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” – Jesus, Matthew 7:7-8
As my family stood at this open door near Cahirciveen, there was no hindrance to our coming in or going out. It stood open all the time. In real life, there are many shut doors that try to stand in our way. And the biggest one is usually the one we try to erect in our heart between ourselves and God. But He is waiting, right on the other side of that door of pride and independence, waiting to let us know how much He loves us. He will never leave us or forsake us, and for that, I am so thankful today. Slainte, Lisa
