Soft Dunes

Irish dunes

I love sand dunes almost as much as I love rocks.  Dunes have many similar qualities that intrigue and comfort me:   They’re usually bigger/taller than me.  They provide protection and shelter.  But unlike rocks that I love to climb upon and sit on, dunes change shapes.  They are more delicate in their protection.  They are vulnerable to the wind and rain in a way that rocks are not.  So as much as I am tempted sometimes, I don’t climb and sit on dunes.  I take the path around them, and marvel at the sand mountain that God has placed there.   So many wonders that He has made.  🙂  Have a blessed day!  Lisa

“But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.”  ~Psalm 5:11

Sitting By the Riverbank

Sometimes I want to take on the world, walking vigorously, exploring all there is to see.  But other days I just want to sit by the riverbank and watch it flow.  Listen to the waters flowing over the rocks, watch the birds overhead in flight, rest my body in the soft green grass.  Both ways have merit and worth, just differently.  Action and thought.  Both integral parts of this thing that God has given us….life.  “He leads me beside the still waters; He restores my soul.”  ~Psalm 23:2b-3a

Blessings for your day, Lisa

Down the Path

DSCN1227Here are two pathway pictures taken in the Elizabethan Gardens, Manteo, NC.  Do you prefer the winding path where you can’t see the end, or the straight path, where the end is clearly visible?  I have to say that I prefer the winding one, although in life, I always feel that I want to know what’s going to happen.  But maybe I really don’t…life is so much the better for the surprises, the “wow, I didn’t expect that”, the bends and turns and beauty discovered after time.  And so this is what my brain is thinking about on a Monday morning….I think another cup of coffee is in order.  😉  Slainte, Lisa

Looking for a Place to Shine

Since I was a little girl, I have been drawn to the light.  To the sunshine, to smiling people, to laughter, to music, to water dancing diamonds in the day.  My soul cries out for those things and needs them like food.  God calling out to me….that’s how He does it.  With light and beauty and music; all saying “I’m here…I’m here.”  Today I’m going to try to be one of those sparkly, smiley people; with His help, I’m going to look for my place to shine. 🙂  Blessings, Lisa

Every Little Thing….

….is gonna be alright.  Sometimes my dreams of the night before put me into a fretful waking up feeling…has that ever happened to you?  So watching God’s beautiful ocean and listening to the sounds of the waves drowning out all other things is just the prescription.  Listen, pray, breathe, relax…every little thing is gonna be alright.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa
