Overcome the World

“In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart! I have overcome the world.” ~Jesus, John 16:33

This picture says that to me…we might face government fiasco, wars, unrest, financial distress, feel the need to build forts and have big guns, but there is something greater.  The mountains, the sky, the One who made it all.  Jesus.  And He has overcome.  Joy and blessings for your day, Lisa

To The Hills

“I lift my eyes to the hills – where does my help come from?  My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.  He will not let your foot slip – He who watches over you will not slumber.”  ~ Psalm 121:1-3

May your feet be steady and sure, taking every step knowing that God’s got you.  Slainte, Lisa

Doing Something Different

One of my favorite things about Ireland are the sheep.  They are everywhere out in the country, and usually stay together, like this herd outside the gates of Kells Priory.

But as we went inside to explore further, we found two little sheep that were doing their own relaxing for the day.  They had decided to go on holiday, and we’re so glad they did.

Follow the crowd if you must today, but make sure they’re headed somewhere good.  If not, break away and find your own spot.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

The presence of something good

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” ~Jesus, John 14:27
