In the mist, there’s an island…
An island where there are flowers and rocks and life…
Within that life, there is love…
And in that love, there is Jesus.
Look through the mist of your life; sometimes things look very foggy and dim, but ahead there is love and life and Jesus. Slainte, Lisa
“You do a great injustice to dismiss these blessings from God as random occurrences…don’t discard God’s boundless love as mere coincidence. His Presence is everywhere for eyes that see and ears that hear. Keep your journey on the way of the pilgrim.” – Brother Malachy, a character from the book The Last of the Donkey Pilgrims by Kevin O’Hara
I’m going to try to keep my ears and eyes open today. God is whispering and sometimes shouting to me how much He loves me and wants to be closer to me. I want to hear and see Him when He does. Slainte, Lisa
The sun breaking through the rain clouds off of Doolin’s coast.
O God who created the sun, You are the sun of my soul & I adore Your brightness.
I love You, O Everlasting Light. May I see You in the bright light of Your glory.
-Irish blessing
Some mornings you wake up, and you’re not really awake. But other mornings, you wake up and begin to realize how amazing the gift of life is. To be alive, to have a purpose, to breathe deeply of God’s good air, to see the sunshine or the clouds and be glad that you’re seeing them. Take a moment…breathe deeply….thank God for whatever blessings are around you right now. Be blessed. Slainte, Lisa
My husband found this double-hearted leaf yesterday and brought it to me.
It had fallen from a tree and was laying, unappreciated, in the grass until then.
The leaf’s hearts are delicate, and easily torn and ruined without care and love.
And sadly, by this morning, it was starting to dry up and wither apart from its tree, the vine, the branch which gave it life.
Love is like that. We need each other to be tender, nurturing and caring in order to live and thrive and grow properly. We need to appreciate each other and not let others just lay around unseen. We need desperately to be hooked up to our life source, Jesus, who gives us abundant life beyond imagining.
Find your leaf today and love it and nurture it and really see it. Slainte, Lisa
My yard is full of new leaves…some of them are just a week or two old, full of greenness and newness. Looking around, I see green, green, and more green, and with all that color, I see hope and new life and renewal. They remind me that in Christ I am a new creation; the old has passed, the new has come. (2 Cor. 5:17) God is all about new beginnings…”do-overs”….Thank goodness for that; I tend to need a lot of them in my life. 🙂 Enjoy the green today! Slainte, Lisa
