Overwhelmed
Undermotivated
Perplexed
Inadequate
But he picks up one stone
Puts it down
Picks up another, then another
Places it beside, atop
It has begun
One stone at a time

Delightful would it be to me to be in Ulster
On the pinnacle of a rock
That I might often see
The face of the ocean
That I might see its heaving waves
Over the wide ocean
When they chant music to their Father
Upon the world’s course
-Excerpt from Colmcille fecit poem, 6th century
Peace despite the raging sea, the howling wind, uncertainty
Peace despite the circumstance, the strong what-ifs, the hurt within
Peace, it comes as gentle dove, as quiet voice, as ever there
Peace His Name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Risen Lamb

May you find the peace that passes understanding, resting in the arms of a great and unchanging Savior. Blessings, Lisa
“A quiet tongue shows a wise head.” – Irish Proverb
“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.” – Anne Frank
“Truth hath a quiet breast.” – William Shakespeare
“I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.” – Albert Einstein
“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.”-Isaiah 30:15
Blessings, Lisa
Let’s pretend that all is well
and just go back in time
Let’s find the place where hours glowed
and laughter always chimed
There is no perfect time, she said
No matter how you sigh
There always is a time of tears
Intermingled with the cheers
This life we lead is full of joy, of sadness, and of wonder
The way to peace is accepting all, and finding the Creator
The One true God, His name is Jesus, and life eternal after
He is the Way, the Truth, the Life
He is our Ever After
