“Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” ~Psalm 90:2

Same sight, your choice what you see…
Choose wisely.
Hanging heavy in the sky above
The dense white cloud gives up its rain gently, effortlessly
Falling upon the earth in a mist, in softness
Barely touching the skin like a blanket of water and air
Sky and earth together
He is enough…
He is sufficient…
He is everything.
All of 2018’s hopes and dreams and resolutions in one Name.
Jesus.
One of my favorite things about our Christmas tree is that it is full of memories. Most of the ornaments bring back a rush of remembrances and good thoughts that make me smile. This particular ornament, for example:
Bought in a small shop in Dingle, Ireland in 2001. We had gone to this shop around 1 PM, and saw a sign saying that they were away and would be back sometime in the afternoon. (no time specified, which I thought was wonderful and so unusual to my American time-driven upbringing) Sometime around 4 we went back and found this. It sparkled so beautifully in the light, and we loved it.
Seeing it now, I am right back there, in that small intimate shop, with Ed and Joshua. Good times, good thoughts flow through me, and I smile.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends. Love, Lisa
