Looking for a Place to Shine

Since I was a little girl, I have been drawn to the light.  To the sunshine, to smiling people, to laughter, to music, to water dancing diamonds in the day.  My soul cries out for those things and needs them like food.  God calling out to me….that’s how He does it.  With light and beauty and music; all saying “I’m here…I’m here.”  Today I’m going to try to be one of those sparkly, smiley people; with His help, I’m going to look for my place to shine. 🙂  Blessings, Lisa

Follow The Light

Christmas is a season full of light.  Sparkly lights on Christmas trees, lit garlands wound up staircases, bright stars, garishly-lit yards with every color light under the sun.  And we are fascinated by them; it’s hard to draw your eyes away.  Seeing the lights, the child in all of us comes out for a moment….”Ooohh, look at that!”

DSCN0005 On the very first Christmas, the three kings from far away lands saw an amazing star…full of light and one that had never been seen before.  It moved them, literally, across many miles in search of the reason for the great wondrous light.  It led them to Jesus, and they worshiped.  They knew that the Light had come.  “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.  On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.” ~Matthew 2:10-11a

Search for Him; He’s waiting at the door for you to open it.  And you will see Light like you’ve never seen before.  🙂  Blessings, Lisa

Hill, Mountain

Hill, mountain…whichever it is, it is beautiful, rocky, steep, and gives a feeling of forever, permanence.  Like the ocean, it points to God and gives me great peace.

It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As we start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
Shouting to the darkness
Squeeze out sparks of light      (U2)

May God bless your Monday with smooth hills, peace, and sparks of light.  Slainte, Lisa

What is it about light that is so wonderful and comforting?  We humans are attracted to light, whether God-made or man-made.  Even as a child, I was happier when I was playing on a bright sunny day or a lit room.  When the clouds roll in, I instinctively look and yearn for the break in the clouds, for when the sun will return.  I think that God has placed that longing for the light, the Light, inside all of us….because light reflects who He is.

“I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”  – John 8:12

“God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” – 1John 1:5

light3

“There will be no more night.  They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.  And they will reign for ever and ever.”  – Revelation 22:5

Blessings for your weekend…whether the sun is shining or not, it’s always right behind the clouds, just waiting to come back.  🙂  Lisa

Traveling Light

When we travel, we like to travel lightly.  One carry-on 20 inch suitcase is the limit.  Once I get past the initial, “There’s no way that I can fit everything for 3 weeks in there!” stage, it is the most freeing thing.  No worrying about whether the suitcase will make it off the plane, no lugging heavy suitcases from town to town, easy choices in the morning about what to wear since there’s only 2 or 3 options.  🙂

I am in the process of “lightening” my laptop right now.  Taking all the memory heavy pictures off and putting them on an external source to free up some memory.  My computer feels happier and quicker and lighter already.

One day I will travel to my final place with God and the angels, and I want to travel lightly.  Nothing worse than going to heaven with a big old heavy suitcase full of regrets, guilt and excessive stuff.  Because after all, if I want to fly, I be weightless. 🙂  May all your travels be good ones today.

Slainte, Lisa
