You are a bird; you’re riding the currents of the wind as it tears over Valentia Island. You sense rather than know that Portmagee and rest of Ireland is right over the water. There is a ridge way off in the distance that you may fly to, just to feel the pull of the mountain on your wings. But beautiful delicious fish beckon and taunt you from the sparkling waters. Where will you land first? Comment below; BE THE BIRD! 😉 Slainte, Lisa
“All of the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of one small candle.” ~Unknown
Dark night, no moon, no stars, just blackness. You feel as if nothing could cut the dark. But as soon as someone lights one little candle, or pushes the switch on a flashlight, what was once dark is light. Just like that. Fear is gone, relief comes. Light. Hope. Future. Peace. May God fill your heart and mind with His light today. Lisa
“You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.” ~Psalm 18: 28
“In Your light we see light.” ~Psalm 36:9b
I heard a quote by Gareth Gilkeson of Rend Collective, a praise band out of Northern Ireland, that really made me stop and think.
“We need to get down to the serious business of joy….seriousness is not one of the fruits of the spirit, but joy is.”
I love, love, love, love this. Oh, did I mention that I love this? 🙂 Too many stony-faced Christians (and yes, I’ve been guilty of this on occasion); not enough pure, unadulterated, all-encompassing, I-can’t-believe-Jesus-loves-me JOY!
“God’s peace is joy resting. His joy is peace dancing.” (F.F. Bruce) Dance in your spirit today….the God who made the whole entire immense universe cares about you. No matter what problems you are facing, and we all have big ones sometimes, that is something to hold on to…something to bring you joy. Blessings, Lisa
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.” ~Dr. Maya Angelou
“If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.”
“There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you do not do them.” ~Charles D. Gill
Motivation for you and me both for the weekend. Go for it; if God is in it, He is for you! Blessings, Lisa
…”Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.’ ” ~John 7:37
Drinking fully, deeply, quenching thirst, not just for a moment but forever. Never running out, an endless supply of mercy for every moment, every day. That’s love, that’s Jesus. Blessings, Lisa
