The Lifting
A bird soaring high above the earth, lifted by the winds.
A leaf fluttering and flying, lifted by the breeze.
A massive airplane defying its weight, lifted by the wind over and under its wings.
Our spirits, when God rushes through, with His Holy Spirit wind to lift us.
The feeling and miracle of flight, the relief and freedom of forgiveness in Christ
Be blessed today. Know the love and forgiveness of Christ in your heart. Let the lifting of your spirit commence. Love, Lisa
The Real Me
How many of you can relate?
Scene 1: Early Morning. Lisa arises, feels new, refreshed, ready to tackle the day. She blogs about rising above the storm clouds, about dealing well with the “it is” in her life. Feeling good.
Scene 2: Late afternoon. Lisa is half crying and half mad. Things have gone from bad to worse with little and big irritations, changes, stresses, people being people. Husband laughingly, lovingly, asks where the “it is” girl has gone. She feels a headache beginning.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23
We are human. Life happens. People keep on being people, and none of us are perfect for sure.
Is the real me the one who blogs in the morning? Or the frustrated headachy one in the afternoon? The real me is both of these creatures. God has created us with a myriad of colorful, wonderful and sometimes exhausting emotions.
Verses like the one above bring me great joy and peace. He knows me. He loves me. He gives me new compassion every morning. He will remain faithful to me no matter what.
Thank goodness.
Love, Lisa
A New Day
A new morning begins. Another chance to live, to love, to breathe, to be.
A new morning to be cleansed, as if standing beneath Glencar waterfall.
Be encouraged. We have a new day.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23
Love, Lisa

Letting Love Win
Love can win, every time.
It is easy to get lost in blame, anger, resentment, self-pity.
It is hard to let go, to forgive, to love even if the other person isn’t sorry or doesn’t realize they’ve hurt.
But love frees, forgiveness lightens, God works through sacrifice.
Light will always shine brighter than the darkness.
Kindness can sift through the hardest ground.
Love can win, every time, if I will be open and not let my pride stand in the way.
(officially ended sermon to myself….hope it encouraged you as well. 🙂 )
