May flowers in Portmagee, Ireland
May, spring, warm days, color, flowers, green soft grass, hope, joy. Can you tell I’m excited? Enjoy every moment of your day today; good or bad, it’s the only today we will ever have. 🙂 Blessings, Lisa
Coming home one evening not too long ago, I saw our mountain enveloped in cloud and mist, and of course, I ran inside to get my camera pronto. Now if there was a way to get rid of those electrical lines. But without electricity, there would be no computer, no WordPress, and hence, no post. 😉 Have a wonderful day! Slainte, Lisa
Although delicate, they protect. Although bendable, they withstand. Sea oats on a dune…protecting the vulnerable sand dunes and withstanding steady ocean winds. Those thin reeds might sometimes wonder if they’ll have what it takes. But in the morning after a fierce nor’easter, they stand, they go on another day. I pray that God gives me the strength to do the same. “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” ~Isaiah 40:31 Have a blessed day, Lisa
This beautiful flower is a Resurrection flower. In the early spring, clumps of long foliage appears for several weeks before wilting. After several months, a single stalk shoots up almost overnight and a lily-like pink bloom opens. They remind me every year that though we don’t see the flower for a time, it’s alive and coming back in full force and beauty.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ~John 11:25-26
Hold on to this; believe it; believe in Jesus. And you will never die. Why? Because He loves you, He made you, and He wants you to be with Him forever. This is hope; this is life; this is resurrection. Blessings, Lisa
There is something about Spanish moss that gets me every time. Beautiful, mysterious, atmospheric. This was taken in the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, NC. Stepping into these gardens is like entering a different world for a while. I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the area. Slainte, Lisa
