“They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble.”
~Jeremiah 31:9
I love this verse and the picture it gives me. Weeping, praying, God bringing me to a place of rest and refreshing and safety. God is so good. Blessings, Lisa
“And when you’re traveling along,” she concluded, looking out at the passing fields, “think only of the road at your feet and all that surrounds it, for you may well find the road isn’t half long enough when you make your turn for home.”

Yes, I know this is not a picture of a donkey, but it was a fine pony who worked hard in the Gap of Dunloe and had a kind man who took care of him. As they walked along, the man would talk quietly to the pony and the pony would listen as they traveled the road at their feet. Enjoy the road that God gives today; rocky or smooth…..part of the journey. Slainte, Lisa
“If God gives you the strength, see it through to the end. Mind ye, ‘twould come harder on you to travel the fifteen miles back to your starting point than to walk the thousand-odd miles yet before you.” Last of the Donkey Pilgrims, Kevin O’Hara, c2004
Yes, I’m reading it again. (fourth time through) And yes, I’m loving it again. Who can say what it is about a certain book that makes you love it? All I know is that I’m happy, and smiling, and chuckling just like the first time I read it. And I’m glad of it. Thank you, Kevin O’Hara.
So you might be hearing nuggets of it this week as I rediscover favorite lines along the way. Yay for donkeys! 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
When the tide is low, things are revealed which are usually unseen.
When things go wrong in life, the same is revealed. The hidden thoughts, the strengths, the underlying structure of a person.
And God is what holds the sea and me together, during high and low tides. The water comes, the water goes, but Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Blessings, Lisa
“What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” (Matthew 8:27)
