“I lift my eyes to the hills – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip – He who watches over you will not slumber.” ~ Psalm 121:1-3
May your feet be steady and sure, taking every step knowing that God’s got you. Slainte, Lisa
Hundreds of years past today, our descendants will look back at 2013 and ponder, pontificate and conjecture about our culture, our political movements, our ancient houses and inventions, which by then will be obsolete. Which rather freaks me out, as it’s hard to think past tomorrow, much less hundreds of years from now when I am singing and hopefully flying(!) in Heaven. 🙂
Take Blarney Castle, for example. Now, visitors from all over the world travel to the elusive and fabled “Blarney Stone” to kiss the lay-on-your-back, bend-backwards and downwards-stone to receive their Irish gift of gab. But when Cormac McCarthy lived there in the 1400’s, he didn’t foresee all that. He was just trying to keep Britain from taking the castle, by stalling, planning banquets for the invaders, and finally escaping attack by using the underground tunnels to go to Kerry and Cork. He was living his life, and hopefully living it well.
So I’m not going to think about this any longer….I’m going to try to live my life today well, no looking back, and looking forward in hope. And I pray the same for you. Slainte, Lisa
I love these pictures. My two daughters and I had ridden by jaunting car through the Gap of Dunloe, and my son and husband had decided to run/walk their way through and meet us at Brandon’s Cottage. (You can just see the top of the little daughter’s blonde hair sticking up over the bridge. 🙂 ) We saw them coming and felt extraordinarily happy, as if we had been separated for weeks rather than hours. And here’s Amy running to greet her daddy and brother.
One day, when my adventures here on earth are over, there will be an amazing reunion up in the sky, with loved ones who have gone before me, and with Jesus, who loves me and will run to greet me. What a reunion that will be. Happy day! Blessings, Lisa
Sure, it doesn’t have a roof, and you can only reach it by crossing rocks in the water at low tide, but doesn’t it have the view? Just a few weekends’ work and we’ll have it right as rain! wink, wink 😉
Or maybe this one…the views of the Skelligs are rather nice. 🙂 Have a dreaming kind of day! Blessings, Lisa
