“When you don’t feel like doing anything, just do something.” – Lisa Lyons, on a sleepy Monday morning 😉

Yes, it’s Monday. And regardless of how I feel, how tired I am, etc……this is the only chance I have to live this day. So I am writing, and looking out my kitchen window. The sun is very bright. Good thing. Yesterday’s snow is melting, yet glistening. Good thing. I have a warm house and had food for my breakfast, and lots of good Irish tea. Good thing.

Thanks be to God, who puts up with my tired, unmotivated self, and lets me begin to see something good and true in the day. Very good thing.

However you are feeling this morning, be kind to yourself. And I am praying that your day goes as smoothly as it can, that you have good tea at your disposal, and a fair view to look upon. Also, that tonight’s sleep will be better than the last. 🙂 Love, Lisa

What Will Be Revealed

Things we can’t imagine

Things we can’t see

But will see past all imagining

And will be amazed…

“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.”

~Deuteronomy 29:29 ESV

Blessings, Lisa

Wings of the Wind

Joshua on Bray’s Head, Ireland. Off in the sea is Skellig Michael, ancient home of a monastery.

“Wings of the Wind”

Who made the water to flow from the mountain?

Birds flying by to nest beside their shores

You made the earth to satisfy Your people

In Your hand, there’s only good

There is the sea, so vast & spacious

Full of more creatures than we could ever know

Who controls the waves & takes care of His people?

You can renew the face of the earth.

Praise You, Lord, oh my soul

Oh Lord my God, You are so great

You wrap Yourself in Light unending

And You ride the wings of the wind

(from Flight of Freedom, c 2012 Lisa Lyons)

I am overwhelmed with His goodness and His creativity.  He makes things beautiful, full of purpose.  And His travels are on the wings of the wind.  Slainte, Lisa
