Wishful Thinking

I’m sitting here wrapped up in my warmest sweater, sipping hot coffee, heat cranked, while outside it’s super cold, with snow and wind chills.  So I’m indulging in a little wishful thinking this morning.  Join me, won’t you?  😉   Have a wonderful weekend!  Slainte, Lisa

A Rocky Morning

Burren

It’s been one of those mornings….not smooth, not quiet, not problem-free.  I feel like I’m walking in the Burren area of Ireland…you pick your way carefully, rock by rock, carefully placing your feet so you don’t fall down into a crack, and eventually, you come to some smoother rocks and green grass again.  But the amazing thing about the Burren is that there are many flowers and vegetation growing in the midst of this craggy landscape.  They thrive and ornament in the midst of hardship.  I want to be like those flowers, beautiful, providing hope and joy in the midst.  Pray for me to be that, and let me know how I can pray for you today.  Blessings, Lisa

Rock Eternal

“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.” ~Isaiah 26:3-4

Peace does not come from the perfect present, a spotless house, the most delicious fudge ever made.  Peace comes from Jesus, who descended from perfect Heaven into this world because He loves us.  That is love, that is sacrifice, that is peace.  Blessings, Lisa

Bird On A Winter Beach

I love winter at the ocean.  Yes, it can be cold and windy, but the beach is empty and ours for just a little while.  Except for the birds who love it all year round.  This little guy was chilling out by the waves (almost looks like he’s napping), and then showed off his amazing flying skills to the camera.

Wherever you are on this Monday morning, breathe deeply of the air around you, see what beauty you can find, and smile. Because we can.  Isn’t life an amazing thing?  🙂  Slainte, Lisa
