Through the wall, an opening
Through the opening, the beauty
Through the beauty, the wonder
Through the wonder, the one God
Through the one God, Jesus
Through Jesus, eternal life.
I always get a little sad when summer is leaving. I am a summer girl…love walking outside with no coat, no gloves….love the water…..love the feeling of the heat on my skin and my face. But whenever I’m sad about someone or something leaving, I don’t say “goodbye.” I say “see you soon!” And the things I love are still there, they are just out of sight for a little while. Meanwhile, I will try to embrace the cooler air and sweaters re-emerging from dark recessed places of my closet. The wind will hit my face; I’ll breathe deeply; life is a wonderful gift. Blessings, Lisa
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” ~Ecclesiastes 3:1
When I sit beside the ocean, I hear power, I hear peace, I hear God. The power of a wave, even a small wave, as it crashes on top of you is amazingly strong. The pull of the water as it retreats back into the sea takes all in its path. The sound of the waves on the shore is all encompassing, drowning out the voices surrounding, the worries, the fears. Like Jesus. He draws all of us to himself; He wants all of us to be with Him, to listen to His voice, feel peace, feel encompassing protection. Listen….can you hear Him? Blessings, Lisa
“Watch that wing! Pull your nose up! Keep on the outlook for fish, and don’t forget….have fun!” ~Teacher Bird
My three birds are have flown out of their nest into various schools this morning. Praying for their day to be one of joy and newness and friendship and learning. And for them to have fun on the journey. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
It’s not every day that you get to hang out with Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Johnny Depp. Clark did not appreciate my greediness. 😉 (Johnny doesn’t look too pleased either.) Oh, well. Have fun today, and enjoy all the gift that is this life. Slainte, Lisa
