Have a peaceful weekend. Slainte, Lisa
Someone recently commented to me that most of my Ireland pictures were taken on cloudy/rainy/soft days. And I responded that for some reason I liked the pictures of Ireland taken on those soft days better than the sunny ones. Although, when we are in Ireland, I appreciate the warm sunny days so much. But there’s something about old castles, craggy mountainsides, and sheep in the foggy mist that hit me as just about perfect. 🙂 What do you think? Comment below. Here are two sets of similar pictures taken on two different days, with very different weather. Enjoy your sunny or soft day today. Slainte, Lisa

“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Jesus, Matthew 11:28
I used to want to be famous. Someone who would sing up on a big stage, record albums every other year and then go out on tour. I thought this was the epitome of happiness and fulfillment in life. I went after this goal for many years, but one day, I realized that I was already happy. I had a husband who loved me, a child who was a delight, a home. I had a God who never forgets me or overlooks what I say. To God, I am infinitely important. Every so often the “man, I wish I had been a big famous singer”thought will bite again, but it passes, because I am so blessed. Singing at my piano in my family room, with the immense and awesome audience of God, is the best.
“Not one is missing, not one forgotten. God the Father has his eye on each of you…” – 1 Peter 1:1 Message
