September….Where Did You Go?

998 Is it just me, or is time zooming by at the speed of light?  Sometimes I feel like I have stumbled into a time machine unbeknownst, and have zoomed far into the future.  🙂  Yes, it’s October, and the challenge?  To try to savor each moment of each day that God has granted me here in this month.  To enjoy more, to be aware more, to love more, to not miss the blessings as they come.  Pray for me, and I will pray for you.  Slainte, Lisa

Tower

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” ~Proverbs 18:10

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” ~Proverbs 29:25

One of the most precious things in my life is knowing that no matter what happens around me and what changes….God stays exactly the same.  The name of Jesus is strong and has great power.  “And step by step You’ll lead me…and I will follow You all of my days.”  (Rich Mullins, Step by Step)  Slainte, Lisa

Living Water

1110

Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”  ~John 7:37-38

“Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.”  ~Revelation 22:17

“For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water.  And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”  ~Revelation 7:17

Encouragement this morning for me and you.  May your day be blessed with a rushing and a quenching of His water.   🙂   Lisa

 

In Church

1417

What is a church?  Is it four walls, beautiful stained glass, soaring organ music?  Is it people who love God, gathering together?  This church ruin in Ireland once held people, coming together to worship by the sea.  Is it not a church because the roof is gone?  Or does Jesus hold all things together by His love and grace and mercy?  Questions, questions, but He holds all the answers.  We just trust, and worship, and love, and continue on towards Him.  Slainte, Lisa

Throughout My Lifetime

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime….I made you, and I will care for you.” ~Isaiah 46:4 NLT

I can’t tell you how much comfort that verse has brought me this morning.  It makes me feel safe, loved, protected, cared for, held, warm.  And it makes me love Jesus so much, that He would care and love and hold.  I pray that your day is full of love and blessings.  Lisa
