What is it about a tree that makes us feel so protected and sheltered?  Standing next to a tree, even when I was a little girl, I feel better.  I love to lean up against the strong trunks and gaze up into the lofty green leaves with sunlight diffusing through them. DSCN1232

So today, with Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow, I want to thank God the amazing Creator for all the beauty He made….trees, leaves, oceans, skies of all varieties, the wind on my face.  I am thankful for all of this and more, because when I see and feel these things, it feels like He’s right here, always.  Blessings, Lisa

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.  But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

–Mother Teresa

In case you ever wondered, you matter, a lot.  The wonderful God who created you, also loves you with an everlasting love.  He knows you better than anyone else, will never ever leave you, and has a specific plan for your life.  If you’re still doubting, check it out. 🙂  Psalm 139, Jeremiah 29:11-13, John 3:16, Joshua 1:5.  Have a wonderful day!  Slainte, Lisa

Trusting…Letting Go…Enjoying the Ride

Lake Boat
So many things in our lives are out of our control.  And I can tell you that I don’t like that, at all, but I know that it’s good for me.  Trust….let go….let someone else be in charge….enjoy the ride.  On this particular day, the adults all had to exit our lake boat as we were passing from one Killarney lake to the next through a shallow section.  But our guide let Joshua stay and enjoy the ride through with him.  Joshua, only 7 at the time, was unsure at first, but afterwards, he was all smiles and stories.  Trusting, letting go, and enjoying the ride.

There is a Bible passage that really helps me when I’m going through the uncontrollable waters:  “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you…..Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you….do not be afraid, for I am with you.”  (Isaiah 43:2,4a,5a)

Let go…trust your Guide…enjoy the amazing ride He has planned for each of us!  Slainte, Lisa

 

Flying Free

These birds are above, free, soaring high, not bound by the confines of the ground below.  When I see a bird, my soul cries out to be with them, to be weightless and feeling the wind carrying me.  God knows that we long for more, to experience that freedom.  That yearning we feel is what draws us forward and upward, waiting for the day we can truly fly, forever.  If you need release and forgiveness, Jesus wants to do that for you.  Just ask.  And you will know for sure that one day you will fly.  Until then, we have the birds to show us how it’s done.  🙂  Blessings, Lisa
