The Sheltered Path

Earlier on this particular day, it was windy, so much so that we couldn’t open our car doors at the beach.  But we got to this wooded and sheltered path, just 5 miles down the road, and the wind was still.  It was warm and cozy and protected.

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’ ”  ~Psalm 91:1-2     We all long to be safe, protected, loved, secure.  Run to the arms of Jesus; He will keep you right where you’ve always needed to be.  Blessings, Lisa

A Rocky Morning

Burren

It’s been one of those mornings….not smooth, not quiet, not problem-free.  I feel like I’m walking in the Burren area of Ireland…you pick your way carefully, rock by rock, carefully placing your feet so you don’t fall down into a crack, and eventually, you come to some smoother rocks and green grass again.  But the amazing thing about the Burren is that there are many flowers and vegetation growing in the midst of this craggy landscape.  They thrive and ornament in the midst of hardship.  I want to be like those flowers, beautiful, providing hope and joy in the midst.  Pray for me to be that, and let me know how I can pray for you today.  Blessings, Lisa
