Light

What is it about light that is so wonderful and comforting?  We humans are attracted to light, whether God-made or man-made.  Even as a child, I was happier when I was playing on a bright sunny day or a lit room.  When the clouds roll in, I instinctively look and yearn for the break in the clouds, for when the sun will return.  I think that God has placed that longing for the light, the Light, inside all of us….because light reflects who He is.

Blessings for your weekend…whether the sun is shining or not, it’s always right behind the clouds, just waiting to come back.  🙂  Lisa

A Church with Sand on the Floor

I don’t know about you, but this is about perfect.  A beautiful white wooden church with sand on the floor, blue ocean right outside its windows, sea breezes blowing through…the best of God’s air conditioning.  Let’s go…OK?  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

I Think I Can, I Think I Can

Another Monday, another new week to try to be healthy.  It is constantly amazing to me how lazy I can become after one short weekend of fun.  So in order to inspire myself (and encourage you also! 🙂 ) , I have found some great quotes to motivate us both!

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  – Phillippians 4:13

“I think I can, I think I can…” – The Little Engine Who Could

motivation2

“You’ll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind.”  – Irish proverb

May God fill you with amazing energy and motivation today to do whatever it is you need to do!  Slainte, Lisa

I Will Not Fear
c2012 Lisa Lyons

I will not fear for You promise to stay by me

Who can I fear when You’re by my side?

You are my strength, giving me song

Keeping me safe in Your arms…

Help me to run to You when I feel scared and all alone

Knowing You’ll hide me safe within Your shadow

Let me love the way You love me, open my eyes to see

You desire only good for me…

I will not fear for You promise to stay by me

Who can I fear when You’re by my side?

Blessings to you for a weekend that is full of love, friends, family, and may you know without a doubt that the love of God is all around you.           Slainte, Lisa

“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 :23

Your day, brand new, given to you, all wrapped up by God.  Enjoy seeing what’s inside.  Slainte, Lisa
