Azure and Turquoise

Where am I?  Is it the crystal blue seas of the Caribbean? These beautiful azure and turquoise seas are found in Dingle, Ireland on Coumeenoole Beach, the famous beach filmed in “Ryan’s Daughter.”  Soft sand, crystal blue waters and protective cliffs towering around you…what more can you ask for in a beach?  🙂

For those of you who could use a little “wave therapy” to start out your weekend, here’s a video capturing the sounds of the ocean as well as the stunning scenery.

Isn’t it always amazing how truly beautiful the things that God has made are?  Slainte, Lisa

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands….there is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. “

-Psalm 19:1,3

A bit of peace and beauty for your Tuesday morning.  These auroras are truly magnificent. Watch in wonder.   Slainte, Lisa

What Makes a Home a Home?

For three weeks in Portmagee, this was our home.  It felt like home amazingly quickly; kids running around in the morning quiet on the wood floors, making breakfast in the wood-beamed kitchen, turning up the heat when the wind blew cold outside, sitting outside watching the neighboring cows munch away.

Then we came home to Virginia, and that felt like home too.  The bumpy steep driveway that leads to the side door we always use, the tall ceilings, the comfortable bed that feels just right, the sight of the familiar trees outside the window, the happy piano waiting for me in the green room.

So what makes a home?  Love.   A home is where you love, where you receive love, where you feel safe, and where you feel you belong.  It’s being with people who care, pets that run to you when you come in the door, a sanctuary from life’s turbulence for awhile, a haven.

Wherever you call home today, embrace it and enjoy it.  Home is a gift.  Slainte, Lisa
