Sitting By the Riverbank

Posted on March 12, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Sometimes I want to take on the world, walking vigorously, exploring all there is to see. But other days I just want to sit by the riverbank and watch it flow. Listen to the waters flowing over the rocks, watch the birds overhead in flight, rest my body in the soft green grass. Both ways have merit and worth, just differently. Action and thought. Both integral parts of this thing that God has given us….life. “He leads me beside the still waters; He restores my soul.” ~Psalm 23:2b-3a

Blessings for your day, Lisa

Wanting to Be…

…here. The practical Lisa knows that airfare for a family makes this prohibitive. The dreamer Lisa hopes that somehow magically lower rates will appear on Aer Lingus’ website at any minute! 😉 Hey, a girl can dream, right? Slainte, Lisa

The Way We’ve Come

Posted on February 11, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

The way we’ve come is sometimes fair

Sometimes filled with pain

But always there is Someone who

Will walk beside, before, after, always

He is real, He is love, He is there.

Coming ‘Round the Bend

Posted on February 3, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

One of my favorite things about traveling in Ireland is the wonderful towns and villages. You come around the bend, and presto! A whole town of brightly painted buildings with shops, pubs and groceries to explore. This is Portmagee, a great little town in Kerry that we used as our home base for 3 weeks. Portmagee is the place to catch a boat tour out to the Skelligs, has some great little pubs/cafes, and a tiny but efficiently stocked grocery.

We would walk down to the village some days, buy some groceries, and the kids would undoubtedly get a “99”, a delectable soft ice cream cone with a Flake bar stuck in the top for the walk home. By the end of the three weeks, we felt like it was a home away from home, and we were sad to see it fade in our rear-view mirrors.

Enjoy your little village today; big or small. Slainte, Lisa
