Throughout My Lifetime

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime….I made you, and I will care for you.” ~Isaiah 46:4 NLT

I can’t tell you how much comfort that verse has brought me this morning.  It makes me feel safe, loved, protected, cared for, held, warm.  And it makes me love Jesus so much, that He would care and love and hold.  I pray that your day is full of love and blessings.  Lisa

Blessing in the Midst

It’s easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song

But the man worthwhile is the one who can smile

When everything goes dead wrong.

For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years.

And the smile that is worth its salt

Is the smile that shines through the tears.

~Irish, Unknown Author

I was moved by this blessing/poem today, and it encouraged me to keep smiling, keep singing, keep hoping…through trouble, through pain, through hard times.  Because life is good, God is loving, and joy can be found, right now.  Blessings for a good weekend, Lisa
