“He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.” – Mark 4:39
“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” – Isaiah 30:15
It’s Monday, and God is still God. Nothing has changed; He’s got you and always will. Stillness. Blessings, Lisa

Beauty, the beauty that is all around us if we look, is usually in layers. The obvious, the subtle, and the hidden. I always get excited when my busy self slows down long enough to discover the subtle and occasionally, God’s hidden gems.
Reencaheragh Strand, Ireland
In this picture, the obvious beauties are the cliffs, rocks and sky. The subtle are the far hills, the green fields. The hidden are the tiny tide pools in between all the rocks that we explored, the way the sun makes diamonds on the water, the unexpected fishing boat that appeared later that day around the cliff. But everyone sees it differently, and even that is a treasure. 🙂 Praying for God to truly open my eyes today to the beauty of all kinds today. And praying that for you as well. Blessings, Lisa

All of us can see the clouds coming if we look hard enough….they are always coming. But if we let them stop the living, then we stop living. What if it rains? What if I get wet? What if it spoils our day? Or….what if we have an awesome day, right here and now? What if we run on the beach and not mind if we get wet? What if we feel the wind on our faces, taste the raindrops and thank God above that we are alive and here now?
Feel the rain, and enjoy the clouds. The day is here, now. Slainte, Lisa
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
