Somewhere, this beach, these chairs are waiting…
Waiting for work-weary bodies to sink down into them
Waiting for the island breezes to blow
Waiting for the surf to tickle their legs and wash away the weight
Waiting, peacefully with no worries
Have a blessed weekend. Slainte, Lisa
These beautiful snowy egrets are plentiful on St. Kitts in the Caribbean. Delaney, our taxi driver, said that these birds had been brought onto the island to get rid of tics. I think that if they would be happy in my yard, they would be a welcome sight here in Virginia. Tics, be gone! 🙂 Have a wonderful day. Blessings, Lisa
I sometimes love to take strange pictures…ones that aren’t quite straight, not lined up correctly. Why? Just because I get tired of the same old thing and just want to see the world a little differently. What if the world went sideways for a day? You know, like in one of those funhouses, where the room is tilted and you can’t walk straight? I guess I should be very thankful that the world doesn’t actually tilt so that I can feel it; that gravity and all those other forces I don’t quite understand keep me feeling upright and standing firm. Because a disoriented and falling around Lisa can be a scary thing. 🙂 May your feel be solidly planted today, and may God keep you upright and planted on the Rock. Slainte, Lisa
“Live your life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift – there is nothing small about it.” – Florence Nightingale
“Remember, there are no small parts, only small actors.” – Konstantin Stanislavski
God has breathed the breath of life into each one of us, and has given us an amazing life to live. And none of us are small in His eyes. Ever. Slainte, Lisa
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” – J. Lubbock
Resting is hard when you’re an adult. Working at your job, cleaning, cooking, child-rearing….you get the idea. But oh, the blessedness of rest when it comes. You see the clouds and the sky, as if for the first time in weeks. You take deep breaths, loving the way the air feels in your lungs. You feel your feet sinking down into the sand, or the green green grass. You sense that God is right there with you, saying, “Peace, my sweet child; just rest now.” And you are thankful and recharged. Take a few moments (or longer if you can manage) to just rest and enjoy breathing and living for a little while today. Blessings, Lisa
“This is what the Lord says: ‘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
