Some mornings, or afternoons, or evenings, I just don’t want to sing. For a person who loves to sing, this is always weird and disconcerting. But when I feel like that, that is the very time that I need to sing the most. It lifts me out of the pity-party mode and into the God-party. 🙂
“I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.” ~Psalm 13:6
God is so good. Blessings on your day, Lisa
Upward towards God, living now…the way towards hope.
“Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:13
“Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.” – Author unknown
“One day at a time – – this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.” – Author Unknown
Love and blessings, Lisa

“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.” – Philippians 4:8
There are a lot of yucky, depressing, ugly and scary things in the world that try to steal my attention and terrify me. It can happen by reading the news, watching TV, going to Walmart, even by revisiting things in your past that you’re not proud of. But in Christ, I am a new creation, the old is past, the new has come. He wants me to keep my eyes on Him, on the true and noble and lovely things that He has made and that are to come. Like my dog when he’s cuddled up in his bed, looking like a big stuffed animal. Like hugs from my sweet children who call me Mommy. Like a kiss at the end of a hard day from the handsome man who loves me and married me. Like a phone call from my parents, talking over life and realizing that we are so blessed. The sun in the morning, a beautiful moon at night, fireflies outside my window. True, noble, lovely. Be blessed today, Lisa
