The Beautiful Sea
The sea hath no king but God alone.
~Dante Gabriel Rossetti
My soul is full of longing for the secrets of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.
~Robert Henri
Heartsong
“To enjoy life you don’t need wealth or power but a song in your heart.” ~Anonymous
“The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ~Exodus 15:2a
So….what is the song in my heart this morning? It is a wonderful tune from Robin Mark, a worship leader from Northern Ireland, called All Is Well. Praying that it blesses you as well. Slainte, Lisa
Just Around the Bend
It had been a long, hard journey across the sea. Two plane flights, a seven hour layover in NJ, a sprained ankle, and three tired children, including a two and a half year old. Procuring a rental car, securing the car seat, pouring over the map to locate the roads to Portmagee, and off we drove. I was determined not to stop until we reached our little cottage. But this view stopped me….Dingle Bay to my right, the wonders of Kerry just around the bend. I was filled with expectation and excitement and awe at the beauty that God has made. My poor worn out two year old and nine year old missed the whole thing, being passed out in the backseat.
But the view gave me just enough energy to make it to the aforesaid cottage; knowing what might be just around the bend was exciting and kept me driving on.
Keep on driving today….what’s just around the bend is full of wonder and needs you to discover it. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

A Blessing For the Journey
May God shield you on every step,
May He aid you on every path,
And may He hold you safe on every slope,
On every hill and on every plain;
On earth and on sea until you are home again.
~ Irish Blessing
Whether your feet take you across the sea, up a mountain, or just out in your backyard, know that Jesus will never leave you or forsake you. He is with you always, even to the very end of the age. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
