Support

DSCN3306.JPGWhat holds you up, holds you together?

Stones, bolts, wood, steel do nicely for this bridge near Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland.

Praying that you have what you need to support you this morning….a good friend, a loving spouse, a soft pet, a warm cup of tea….but most of all praying that you know that God  supports and steadies you because He loves you so.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”     ~Galatians 6:2

Presence

“All the Christmas presents in the world are worth nothing without the presence of Christ.”  ~David Jeremiah

When I’m feeling overwhelmed with the seemingly endless and often routine shopping that surrounds Christmas, this thought grounds me.  If the people I love have Jesus, they have everything.  The only gift that matters in this short life.  He gives eternal life, which is a gift past all imaginings and expectations.  The flash and the sparkle fades away into a wooden manger; peace descends.   Blessings, Lisa

Conversations by a Stream

Sheep on Far Right:  You know that your position is precarious?

Sheep Eating on Said Slope:  (talking with mouth full) But this grass is the BEST!

Sheep on Far Right:  You could fall in the water.

Sheep Eating:  (still with mouth full of delicious grass) If I do, I will stand up, shake off, and climb up.  Problem solved.

I avoid things sometimes out of fear.  Fear of falling, fear of failure, fear of many things.  But think of the things I have missed along the way.   “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”  (2 Timothy 1:7)

Blessings to you today, Lisa
