You Matter

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.  But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

–Mother Teresa

In case you ever wondered, you matter, a lot.  The wonderful God who created you, also loves you with an everlasting love.  He knows you better than anyone else, will never ever leave you, and has a specific plan for your life.  If you’re still doubting, check it out. 🙂  Psalm 139, Jeremiah 29:11-13, John 3:16, Joshua 1:5.  Have a wonderful day!  Slainte, Lisa

For Those By The Sea

IMG_2021

The waves crash and fill the senses like the voice of God
The sound washes to shore peacefully like the whisper of a breeze

Seagulls dive and call like clarions on the wind

Salt air blows and clears your mind like a good night’s sleep

Soft sand surrounds your feet like the sweetest down

Peace descends on your heart….you are there, you are loved, all is well.

Slainte, Lisa

The Perfect Day

The perfect day could be….
Walking through the surf, kicking up the foam as you go

beachwalk

Finding an unbroken and perfect sand dollar at the bottom of clear blue water

Listening to the steel drum band as they play beachfront

Taking your boogie board out for the seventh time, but that time you catch the perfect wave that lifts you up and lets you fly along the top of the water, then sets you down and carries you to shore

Holding hands with the one you love as you watch the sun set over the ocean

Hearing God’s voice, like many rushing waters, as you listen to the ocean’s roar

What would be a perfect day for you?  Love to hear from you, as always.  Slainte, Lisa

 

 

 

 

Blowing Out the Candle

Tomorrow is this blog’s first birthday…a whole year old!  🙂  When it started, I wasn’t sure how it was going to go….it was all so new.  Like a newborn, I marveled at the process and delighted in the newness.  As time progressed, the blog has been learning to sit up, crawl, and now is beginning to walk.  And with time, the blog is changing, as we all change through life.  It will be interesting to see where it is this time next year when it reaches the “terrible two’s.”  haha  Thank you for sharing this first year with me, for the supportive comments, the love, and the likes.  My wish on the candle?  For blessings for you and your families, and for you to know without a shadow of a doubt how much God loves you.  Slainte, Lisa
