I thought it would be fun today to find out where all of you dream/breathe the best. The place you travel to in your imagination. The place you would go to right now if there was no COVID in the world. It might be where you are right now, or it might be somewhere far away. Somewhere you have been, or somewhere you would love to go.
Let’s all travel together today virtually.
Ready….set…..write! 🙂 Love, Lisa
P.S. I did not say my place, as I know you guys already know! heehee 🙂
The best of dreams forms in my mind
The green, the blue, the grey
The castles long forgotten stand
The stones that go on forever
Sheep that roam, seemingly boundless
The laughter, the warmth, the people
The place I breathe and dream the best
Ireland

I dreamed last night about Ireland….so hence the poem. I am excited for the day when we can finally travel there again. But for now, I am going to pet my dog, call my husband, look out at our mountain, and listen for any winter birds that may be hanging around for a Virginia winter. Have a wonderful day, wherever you are in the world. Love, Lisa
Look at these beautiful stone structures at Monasterboice, begun in the late fifth century. There was no heavy duty machinery to help with the hewing and construction in those days, just hard, hard manual labor. These monasteries were built out of love and duty. Love for God who had saved them and sent His Son for them. Duty and purpose drove their construction, as they created monasteries to worship, serve, pray, learn, and teach others.
Lately, there have been many hard things, for all of us. The hard things seem to just keep coming. But we must keep going, keep doing the hard things out of love. To serve the ones we love. To show love to our Father in Heaven. To give purpose, fulfill our duty and produce joy as husbands, wives, mothers, children, friends.
Something beautiful will arise from the hard things
Love, Lisa
When I am by the sea, all the noise stops
Save the roar and crash of waves and wind
The Voice of God speaks loudest
When I stay and rest and listen
The rocks, the sand, the waters’ force
Bid me stay forever
I must go, but always know
I’ll be there in my heart
