The Tale of Two Trees

DSCN1238

Once upon a time, there were two trees.  One was straight and tall, no impediments in his way up towards the sky.  His neighbor was different, with many twisty-turny limbs, curves, unexpected bends.  The twisty tree looked longingly at his neighbor, wishing his path could be so predictable, even, steady.  Yet the other tree wished for more excitement, more challenges as his bendable neighbor had.  Over time, they learned from each other, they grew together, they both served their purpose….to bring beauty and joy and fresh clean air to all who passed by.

No matter which tree represents your life today, you have a great purpose.  God will use you if you are open and listening to Him.  Slainte, Lisa

Step Back

DSCN2667

The pier is fuzzy.  I’m too close.  My camera lens searches and focuses on the water beyond.  Clarity, perspective, focus.

Life…sometimes feels fuzzy, unclear, unfocused.  Maybe I need to step back a step or two, or twenty, and see it better from further back.  Not disconnect, but give it more perspective from not being right on top of each situation.  Trusting God more, trusting others to figure things out, trusting that God will work all out for the best end.  Easy to say, hard to do.  Pray for me, and please always let me know if I can pray for you.  Slainte, Lisa

Sea Patrol

Three birds recently hired by the Outer Banks to patrol the relatively empty beaches and report on their wonderfulness.  Also included in their duties are : amount of fish seen in the waters, amount of splash in the waves upon diving down, and air quality whilst flying.  The powers that be are having trouble however, in getting the birds to report in…they are too happy flying and diving.  😉  Have a bit of fun in your day today, and don’t forget to personify the occasional animal!  Slainte, Lisa

A Warm Autumn Day

I’m late, but not really….the post can wait, the weather couldn’t.  🙂  We had to take advantage of the warm autumn air while we have it.  Warm sun, crunchy leaves, perfect blue sky, breeze that lifts your hair and takes it on a little trip….what could be better in November?  Thanking God; He is so good.  Blessings for your day, and praying you’ve had a great one.   Lisa

Finnegan Friday

It’s Friday, and thank the good Lord above, a little time to chill and relax.  Here is Finnegan, my fine little pooch.  He really knows how to kick back…just find a good dog bed, a favorite blanket, his baby….he’s good to go.  Praying that you have some good chill out time this weekend also.  Blessings, Lisa
