Monday Morning Battles

“Have fun storming the castle!” ~Miracle Max, The Princess Bride

Whether your battles be large or as small….whether to have the large coffee, getting out of bed, getting your children to school on time,  coming up with a blog, or saving your office from certain destruction….best wishes for a good one!  😉  Slainte, Lisa

Be Silly. Be Honest. Be Kind.

Happy 2nd day of 2016!!  Another new year of God’s grace.

Some Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes to get my non-resolution self going in the right direction:

“Be Silly.  Be Honest.  Be Kind.

All that I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Blessings and love, Lisa

**P.S.  Much thanks to the Belfast gentleman who kindly agreed to take our pictures beside Slieve League cliffs, and also got his thumb in 9 different pictures, causing great and welcome laughter from both sides of the camera.  What a great day.  🙂

 

Looking Back in Order to Look Forward

Music can take me back to a place, a feeling, smells, sound, sight….in just a moment.

Sometimes by looking back, I become inspired to look forward….to new places, new feelings, new smells, new sounds, new sights.  Because God isn’t finished with this story yet, and He has much to reveal to me.

I pray that your 2016 is full of Him….Jesus in whom we live, and move, and have our being.  The Author of all our stories, and the Giver of that happy ending we’re all looking for but can’t quite grasp…eternal life with Him.
