Down the Path

Posted on March 10, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Here are two pathway pictures taken in the Elizabethan Gardens, Manteo, NC. Do you prefer the winding path where you can’t see the end, or the straight path, where the end is clearly visible? I have to say that I prefer the winding one, although in life, I always feel that I want to know what’s going to happen. But maybe I really don’t…life is so much the better for the surprises, the “wow, I didn’t expect that”, the bends and turns and beauty discovered after time. And so this is what my brain is thinking about on a Monday morning….I think another cup of coffee is in order. 😉 Slainte, Lisa

“Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” ~Psalm 25:4

The Memory of the Water

The wave recedes, the memory of the water remains on the sand for a moment in time. Before the memory totally fades away, another wave appears to regain what was lost. Nothing is ever lost which is kept safe in the heart. Blessings, Lisa

Bird On A Winter Beach

Posted on December 2, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

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

Canopies of Green

Posted on November 27, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

What is it about a tree that makes us feel so protected and sheltered? Standing next to a tree, even when I was a little girl, I feel better. I love to lean up against the strong trunks and gaze up into the lofty green leaves with sunlight diffusing through them.

So today, with Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow, I want to thank God the amazing Creator for all the beauty He made….trees, leaves, oceans, skies of all varieties, the wind on my face. I am thankful for all of this and more, because when I see and feel these things, it feels like He’s right here, always. Blessings, Lisa

Being Still

“He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.” – Mark 4:39

“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” – Isaiah 30:15

It’s Monday, and God is still God. Nothing has changed; He’s got you and always will. Stillness. Blessings, Lisa
