Mr. Ice has left his calling card upon our bushes, our trees, and any other surface he chanced upon last evening.
In doing so, he left us the colours of Christmas. 🙂 Have a blessed day! Lisa
The Colours of Christmas

One Small Boat
I could look at this small boat and feel that they are alone and adrift in an unkind sea. But there is another way to look at it; maybe the occupants of this boat are alive, energized, inspired by the beauty of the ocean, the battering of the wind. They are doing, they are alive, they are sailing. Though they are the lone ship for miles, they can forge a path through the waves.
With the passing of Nelson Mandela, I am inspired to remember that one person can make a difference. That each person does make a difference. That all of us affect each other’s lives more than we ever realize. That we’re not a helpless little boat at sea; we’re alive, energized, inspired. And with God watching over us, we’re never alone. Blessings, Lisa
What Kind of Light Person Are You?
This morning, one of my Facebook friends posted pictures of her tree, all beautifully lit in blue lights. She said, “Yes, we are “those” kind of people who use blue lights!” I was instantly intrigued….what “kind” of people use what color lights in their home? My Nannie and Granddaddy always had blue lights on their tree, and it felt so peaceful and calming. We use clear twinkly lights in our home, but I stare longingly at multicolored lights, giant bulbs, electric candle lights. I love them all. So here’s your poll….what color lights do you use in your decorating for Christmas? And if you care to comment on your deep psychological reasonings for doing so, feel free! 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
Follow The Light
Christmas is a season full of light. Sparkly lights on Christmas trees, lit garlands wound up staircases, bright stars, garishly-lit yards with every color light under the sun. And we are fascinated by them; it’s hard to draw your eyes away. Seeing the lights, the child in all of us comes out for a moment….”Ooohh, look at that!”
 On the very first Christmas, the three kings from far away lands saw an amazing star…full of light and one that had never been seen before. It moved them, literally, across many miles in search of the reason for the great wondrous light. It led them to Jesus, and they worshiped. They knew that the Light had come. “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.” ~Matthew 2:10-11a
Search for Him; He’s waiting at the door for you to open it. And you will see Light like you’ve never seen before. 🙂 Blessings, Lisa
If I Were A Princess
If I were a princess and lived in this tower, I would gaze upon the green surrounding me, watching the waving fronds of the nearby palm tree and happily wile away the hours singing to the nearby birds.
That’s the dream version. In reality, I would probably be wondering how I was going to manage those steep circular stairs another day, wish for the Prince to come rescue me already, and long for a different view for just a day.
Aren’t we humans funny creatures? I love to dream, to imagine, to see things sometimes differently than they are. And that’s ok, because life gets challenging sometimes, and the reality isn’t too fun to look at all the time. So dream away…big, bold, beautiful dreams. Slainte, Lisa
Postscript: I really am a princess….check it out: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” ~1 Peter 2:9
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God! And that is what we are! ~1John 3:1
