Water, Rock and Mountain

Water, rock and mountain

Together in a perfect song

Singing of the power and the strength

That comes from the Creator of them all

Thanks so much to Barbara Walsh Photography for letting me use her amazing image taken at Clogher Beach in County Kerry, Ireland.  Wonderful photograph.  🙂

The Sea

DSCN1565

“The sea hath no king but God alone.” ~Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is clearly Ocean.” ~Arthur C. Clarke

“You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.” ~Psalm 89:9, ESV

Sometimes, when I feel all churned up inside from too much chaos, it helps me to meditate on something much more powerful and strong.  Thinking of the force of the ocean’s waves, its pull back into the depths of the sea, reminds me that God is so, so much stronger than this temporary life.  Life is good, life is a gift, and life returns to Jesus.  He made all things, He controls all things, He is taking care of me.  Nothing else comes close to this.  I can rest, I can trust.  Blessings, Lisa

Step Back

DSCN2667

The pier is fuzzy.  I’m too close.  My camera lens searches and focuses on the water beyond.  Clarity, perspective, focus.

Life…sometimes feels fuzzy, unclear, unfocused.  Maybe I need to step back a step or two, or twenty, and see it better from further back.  Not disconnect, but give it more perspective from not being right on top of each situation.  Trusting God more, trusting others to figure things out, trusting that God will work all out for the best end.  Easy to say, hard to do.  Pray for me, and please always let me know if I can pray for you.  Slainte, Lisa

Finding Diamonds

DSCN2711

We will always find what we’re looking for….if we’re looking for the good, we can see it.  If we’re determined to see the worst, we will definitely find it.

“Because there’s so much good in the worst of us….

So much bad in the best of us

It never makes sense for any of us

To criticize the rest of us

We’ll just find what we’re looking for, find what we’re looking for.”

~Amy Grant, “Find What You’re Looking For”, How Mercy Looks From Here

I’m praying the Lord helps me to look for diamonds and beauty and joy today in others.  Be blessed today, Lisa
