“Let my soul take refuge…
Beneath the shadow of Your wings;
Let my heart, this sea of restless waves,
Find peace in You, O God.”
-St. Augustine
His prayer is my prayer for the day. Be blessed and be God’s. Slainte, Lisa

A sheep on a break
Taking a break from blogging is nice sometimes, just to give your brain a rest for a few days. But coming back from the blog break is hard. That first blog back…what to say, what picture to use, how to be somewhat witty again. It’s like my brain got stuffed with turkey along with the rest of me. So this is what you have….the official first blog back from the break is a blog about coming back from a break. Brilliant. 🙂
Hope all of you are recovering nicely from your Thanksgiving holidays, and getting back into the day-to-day with as much ease as possible. Or maybe just kick back in your chair like this sheep here and try again tomorrow. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
“To enjoy life you don’t need wealth or power but a song in your heart.” – unknown
I awoke this morning to the sweet sound of my littlest daughter humming happily in the kitchen. Not singing to anyone in particular, just humming and making up little tunes happily to herself. And it is a precious thing. Those who know me, also know that I am very quiet in the morning, and rarely sing or talk much before I’ve had my breakfast and tea. But this morning, she inspired me, and as we waited outside in the freezing cold for the bus, she had me singing “Jingle Bells” with her. 🙂
Something about music, about singing, just lifts your spirit and gives the day better wings. So….go on, you know you want to now….sing something! The louder the better. Make people stare and give them something interesting to talk about. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
“”Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Ephesians 5:19b-20

Love is patient, love is kind…
Love does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Love is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered.
Love does not rejoice in evil but rejoices in the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
-1 Corinthians 13:4-8
My prayer for this week is that God will allow me to love just a fraction of the amount that He does. Because that’s a whole lot. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
