Light

In all these photographs, I am drawn to the light.  I want to be in the green place, the place with sunlight warming my skin, the place where I can see clearly.  When a child or any of us feel afraid, we are drawn to put on a light, and it calms us.

“Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you.  The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.  Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” – Jesus, John 12:35b-36

“I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” – Jesus, John 12:46

“I am the light of the world.” – Jesus, John 9:5b

“In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”  -John 1:4-5

Run to the Light, and don’t look back.  Slainte, Lisa

Originality

“Originality is not doing something no one else has ever done, but doing what has been done countless times with new life, new breath.   – Marie Chaplan

Creativity, originality is placed carefully into all of us by God.  Because He is like that, and we are made in His image.  Whether it be music, writing, drama, art, decorating, gardening, caregiving, athletics (the list could go on indefinitely), we all have that originality within us.  Find that thing in you, even if it is very small right now, and breath new life and new breath into it.  Nurture it and let it come alive.  What a blessing you will be to the sad, worn-out world that needs a spark of hope and life.

Shine!  Slainte, Lisa

“You are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden…Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” – Jesus (Matthew 5:14,16)

The Traveler

“The Traveler”

c2012 Lisa Lyons

Feet are on the road trying to find a place to breathe,

I know I’m not alone, but it can be so lonely trying to get to the heart of what it means to

travel down this road before me.

Never been this way, but the Light before me keeps on shining…

Love is leading me along; Light is in the evening song.

I will find a place to rest and think and sit a while by the waters still,

By the greenest meadow I have ever seen in all my life

The Peace that fills my soul lets me breathe and breathe again

Like I’ve never felt the air before.

When I’ve reached the end of the road and all the wonderful adventures that I’ve known

And I finally see the One who loves me with a perfect love

Who died so I could live forever with Him in Paradise

Neverending journey, safe in His arms….

Love is leading me along; Light is in the evening song.

Slainte, Lisa
