Rest For Your Soul

“This is what the Lord says:

IMG_3280

‘Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.’ ” ~Jeremiah 6:16

“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” ~Psalm 42:11

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.”  ~Psalm 94:19

I pray that these verses bring peace to your soul this morning.  Take a moment and just rest beside Jesus.  Blessings, Lisa

 

Cockapoo Puppy At Rest

DSCN2242

An unusual but welcome sight in the day of a puppy owner’s life.  🙂  Usually we see this face:  “Can we go out?  Please?  I love you!”

DSCN2235 Finnegan is now five and a half months old, and lost his first baby tooth the other day.  My youngest daughter was upset that there was apparently no tooth fairy for dogs.  But Finnegan got an extra treat or two (or ten) that day, which is the best kind of tooth fairy for him.  🙂  Have a blessed day!  Lisa

The Cloud Came Over the Mountain

DSCN2276

Coming home one evening not too long ago, I saw our mountain enveloped in cloud and mist, and of course, I ran inside to get my camera pronto.  Now if there was a way to get rid of those electrical lines.  But without electricity, there would be no computer, no WordPress, and hence, no post.  😉  Have a wonderful day!  Slainte, Lisa

Sea Oats

DSCN1318

Although delicate, they protect.  Although bendable, they withstand.  Sea oats on a dune…protecting the vulnerable sand dunes and withstanding steady ocean winds.  Those thin reeds might sometimes wonder if they’ll have what it takes.  But in the morning after a fierce nor’easter, they stand, they go on another day.  I pray that God gives me the strength to do the same.  “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”  ~Isaiah 40:31   Have a blessed day, Lisa

Resurrection

DSCN1131

This beautiful flower is a Resurrection flower.  In the early spring, clumps of long foliage appears for several weeks before wilting. After several months, a single stalk shoots up almost overnight and a lily-like pink bloom opens.   They remind me every year that though we don’t see the flower for a time, it’s alive and coming back in full force and beauty.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?”  ~John 11:25-26

Hold on to this; believe it; believe in Jesus.  And you will never die.  Why?  Because He loves you, He made you, and He wants you to be with Him forever.  This is hope; this is life; this is resurrection.  Blessings, Lisa
