The CT tragedy has shaken everyone, and so deeply that it is impossible to write about it.  The why’s are unanswerable.  All I know is very little, but it is what I’m holding.

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away….And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, ‘Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them and be their God.  He will wipe every tear from their eyes.  There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’ ”  (Revelation 21:1, 3-4)

heavenHold tightly onto His truth and be as loving as you can to those around you.  Because we all need love.   Love, Lisa

“God is, and all is well.”  – John Greenleaf Whittier

“I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?”           – John 11:25-26

“I am the gate for the sheep.” – John 10:7b

“I am the good shepherd.  The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”         -John 10:11

“I am the way, and the truth and life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  – John 14:6

God is….Jesus.  And He’s amazing and awesome, and better still, He loves you so much.  Be His.  Slainte, Lisa

The Beauty of a Dream

God is faithful, and He showed me that again this morning.  Joshua, my oldest son, is going to James Madison University this morning, and I had been feeling rather blue about him not being around as much.  Yes, I am so proud of him; yes, I am excited for him, and yes, I also know that we will still see him a lot.  Yet, I found myself sitting around looking at pictures like this one…and you know the end result of that.  :\

Joshua, age 7, on a ramble in Ireland.

Yesterday, I wrote this quote on J’s facebook wall:

“God gives us dreams a size too big so that we can grow in them.” – Anonymous

This morning, on my daily inspirational flip calendar, there was this:

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”  – Eleanor Roosevelt

Coincidence or God’s reassurance & plans for Joshua?  You know what I think.   Then I went outside to walk my sweet dog, and there were angel rays..those beautiful sun beams that shine through the lifting fog and kiss the ground.  And God knows that I love them.  It was like He was speaking very loudly to me of His love and care for me and our whole family.  So, to make a very long story shorter, I feel better…Joshua has exciting plans ahead, dreams to dream, and a purpose from God to fulfill.  And I get to watch it unfold.  How cool is that?  🙂  Slainte, Lisa
