 “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

~2 Thessalonians 3:16

Love to all my blog readers; I appreciate you all so much.  When I first started this blog a few years ago, I wasn’t sure how long I would keep it up.  But it has been such a blessing to me in my life, and the comments and encouragement from all of you have helped me through a lot of challenging days.  So….big love and hugs to you across our computer screens.  🙂  Love, Lisa

The Sentries

No fences for these sheep; they took their sentry duties seriously and were not leaving their posts.  😉  Sheep lined the road evenly for a kilometer, quite careful to give their fellow comrades the needed personal space.

I pray that the things I’m meant to be guarding, my heart, my mind, my thoughts, my relationships…..that I will take my duties as seriously, yet with the same sense of trust in the One who is really guarding us all.  Slainte, Lisa

Upheld Even If You Fall

“Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

“But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble.”      ~Excerpts from Psalm 37

Watching the news is always an alarming thing these days.  Suffering, scary weather, scarier people, hurting people.  One passage of the Bible has been really ringing true for me lately…..Psalm 37.  I encourage you to read the whole thing when you have some time.  Praying for you, for me, for all of us to cling on to Jesus with all we have, because He is what will last in the end.  And the most excellent thing?  As much as we try to cling, He’s got us with his mighty hand and we can’t fall too far.  🙂  Blessings, Lisa

A lion, tiger and bear who are best friends at a Georgia animal rescue home.  This touches my heart, and challenges me.  Blessings to you today, Lisa

Inside the Castle Walls

We all crave safety and security.  Some of us are more adventurous than others, but no matter what adventure you may take, it sure is nice to be snug inside the place you call home with a nice warm cup of tea in your hands.  Through the ages of time on this planet called Earth, people have come up with all kinds of ways to feel safe….castles, walls, ring forts, round towers, weapons, tunnels.  But there is an amazing secret, yet not secret, protection plan that never will fail.  Yes, you may get hurt sometimes, you may have pain or sickness, but nothing will happen to you that does not strengthen you and make you better.  Want to know?

Jesus.  “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.”  Nahum 1:7

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”  Psalm 34:19

“Do not be afraid.  Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today….The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”  Exodus 14:13-14

And you will be safe within his castle walls, forever.  Blessings, Lisa
