Following the Leader

DSCN2697

“If I sit just so, and hold my beak the same way….”  😉 Even birds can have role models, birds that they look up to and try to mirror.  I just pray that I am keeping my eyes on the One who will transform me into the person He knows I could be.  Blessings, Lisa

“And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” ~2Corinthians 3:18

 

The Sandy Path

940

Soft, sandy paths feel good on bare feet, but they are hard to walk on.  The sand gives way underfoot, causing all the other muscles to work harder to gain momentum.  (good workout though!)  Hard packed sand, however, is great to walk on.  Rocky paths are difficult, because you need to watch your step carefully so there are no turned ankles on the way.

No matter which type of path you’re walking today, the end of the path is worth it.  There are oceans to be seen, seagulls flying overhead, and mountain vistas abounding.  Walk the path, and hold tightly to the hand of God, who will give you the strength you need for the path you’re traveling.  Slainte, Lisa

Light Over Darkness

“All of the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of one small candle.”  ~Unknown

Dark night, no moon, no stars, just blackness.  You feel as if nothing could cut the dark.  But as soon as someone lights one little candle, or pushes the switch on a flashlight, what was once dark is light.  Just like that.  Fear is gone, relief comes.  Light.  Hope.  Future.  Peace.  May God fill your heart and mind with His light today.  Lisa

“You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.” ~Psalm 18: 28

“In Your light we see light.”  ~Psalm 36:9b

What You Love

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”  ~Dr. Maya Angelou

“If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.”

“There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you do not do them.” ~Charles D. Gill

Motivation for you and me both for the weekend.  Go for it; if God is in it, He is for you!  Blessings, Lisa
