Waiting to sail upon the deep
Knowing the spray, the salt, the wind
Will wash all cares and thought away
For a time, for a day, for a moment
Waiting to sail away

The Rock That Is Higher
“Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower.” ~Psalm 61:1-3a
Have a blessed day. Love, Lisa
Peace That Passes Understanding
St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” ~John 14:27
No way to understand it, but when you experience it, you know it’s real. Jesus is always there, and He will give you just what you need for that moment. The peace comes, you breathe deeply, He’s right there. Blessings, Lisa
Solace
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ~Psalm 23
I pray these words bring solace and peace to your soul today. Blessings and love, Lisa
Storm Clouds Are Just Another Shade of Blue
Rossbeigh, Ireland
When I wake up on a day like this, I have two choices: cover up my head and call it a day, or put on my boots, warm coat, zip up and go on. I wish I could say that I always choose the latter of the two, but on the days when I have, I have been so glad. Because beauty, joy, discovery can still be found on grey days…the beaches are quieter, the mountains look mysterious and as if they have a story to tell, and the wind cleanses and pushes out all the other “stuff” I might have been feeling.
You may be going through something really hard right now, something so big that you don’t know how to tackle it….you feel like diving under the covers and calling it a day. The longer I live this life, the more I see that all of us go through some pretty hard stuff. But if I will just zip up my boots (don’t get me started on how much I love my boots 🙂 ) and face the wind, no matter how stiff, I am alive, I am blessed, God is looking down on me and cares about me. It may feel like He’s raining down on me sometimes, but those storm clouds are just another shade of blue. Making me stronger, making me more like him. Keep going, keep looking, the storm clouds will break, pass, and the blue sky is right there. And it has been, all the time. Slainte, Lisa
“By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way…” ~Exodus 13:21a
