Pretty Cool Rocks, Part Two

Bathsheba, Barbados is a coral island filled with lots of cool but rather sharp rocks.  And so, we were compelled to take lots of pictures of them, and now share them with you.  If you like rocks, you’ll like these.  If not, ask yourself….rocks, what’s not to love?  😉  Have an awesome day, Lisa

Layers of Beauty

Beauty, the beauty that is all around us if we look, is usually in layers.  The obvious, the subtle, and the hidden.  I always get excited when my busy self slows down long enough to discover the subtle and occasionally, God’s hidden gems.

In this picture, the obvious beauties are the cliffs, rocks and sky.  The subtle are the far hills, the green fields.  The hidden are the tiny tide pools in between all the rocks that we explored, the way the sun makes diamonds on the water, the unexpected fishing boat that appeared later that day around the cliff.  But everyone sees it differently, and even that is a treasure.  🙂  Praying for God to truly open my eyes today to the beauty of all kinds today.  And praying that for you as well.  Blessings, Lisa

The Clouds Roll In

All of us can see the clouds coming if we look hard enough….they are always coming.  But if we let them stop the living, then we stop living.  What if it rains?  What if I get wet?  What if it spoils our day?  Or….what if we have an awesome day, right here and now?  What if we run on the beach and not mind if we get wet?  What if we feel the wind on our faces, taste the raindrops and thank God above that we are alive and here now?

Feel the rain, and enjoy the clouds.  The day is here, now.  Slainte, Lisa

 

Happy in the Rocky Places

I’ve always been impressed by trees and flowers that can hang on and thrive in rocky inhospitable places.  At first, I begin to feel sorry for them, but then I realize that that is ridiculous, as these strong little miracles are amazing, and strong, and happy where they’re planted.  The wind blows, the soil is far down, but they grow deep roots and grow.  And they tell us so much.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa
