Things We Can’t Know

Posted on August 11, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

There are things in this life we cannot know. We can sometimes sense them lingering out of reach, yet near. Like these small homes off in the distance in the picture. We can’t know what’s going on inside these homes, what the people are doing, saying, thinking. Whether they’re at peace or not. But God knows these things. It comes down to faith, trust, belief in Someone greater. He holds the answers, He knows the way it will work, He cares for us enough to give the greatest good in the end. And it won’t just be a pretty picture….it will be the perfect picture. Blessings, Lisa “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” ~Romans 8:28

Hope

Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.
~ Christopher Reeve ~

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
~ Jeremiah 29:11 ~

“O LORD, you alone are my hope; I’ve trusted you from childhood.”
~ Psalms 71:5 ~

Love floods us with hope.
~ Jareb Teague ~

Viewing History

Posted on September 24, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

Hundreds of years past today, our descendants will look back at 2013 and ponder, pontificate and conjecture about our culture, our political movements, our ancient houses and inventions, which by then will be obsolete. Which rather freaks me out, as it’s hard to think past tomorrow, much less hundreds of years from now when I am singing and hopefully flying(!) in Heaven. 🙂

Take Blarney Castle, for example. Now, visitors from all over the world travel to the elusive and fabled “Blarney Stone” to kiss the lay-on-your-back, bend-backwards and downwards-stone to receive their Irish gift of gab. But when Cormac McCarthy lived there in the 1400’s, he didn’t foresee all that. He was just trying to keep Britain from taking the castle, by stalling, planning banquets for the invaders, and finally escaping attack by using the underground tunnels to go to Kerry and Cork. He was living his life, and hopefully living it well.

So I’m not going to think about this any longer….I’m going to try to live my life today well, no looking back, and looking forward in hope. And I pray the same for you. Slainte, Lisa

Upward and Now

Posted on June 27, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

Upward towards God, living now…the way towards hope.

“Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:13

“Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.” – Author unknown

“One day at a time – – this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.” – Author Unknown

Love and blessings, Lisa

Invincible Summer

Posted on January 8, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

In the depth of winter,

I finally learned that within me there lay

An invincible summer. – Albert Camus

I love this quote. Strength, hope, future. And that strength, hope and future lies in God. He will not let me go, and He won’t let you go either. Rest in that today. Slainte, Lisa
