Solace

DSCN1314

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

He leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.  ~Psalm 23

I pray these words bring solace and peace to your soul today.  Blessings and love, Lisa

Sitting By the Riverbank

IMG_3236

Sometimes I want to take on the world, walking vigorously, exploring all there is to see.  But other days I just want to sit by the riverbank and watch it flow.  Listen to the waters flowing over the rocks, watch the birds overhead in flight, rest my body in the soft green grass.  Both ways have merit and worth, just differently.  Action and thought.  Both integral parts of this thing that God has given us….life.  “He leads me beside the still waters; He restores my soul.”  ~Psalm 23:2b-3a

Blessings for your day, Lisa

Looking for a Place to Shine

DSCN1303

Since I was a little girl, I have been drawn to the light.  To the sunshine, to smiling people, to laughter, to music, to water dancing diamonds in the day.  My soul cries out for those things and needs them like food.  God calling out to me….that’s how He does it.  With light and beauty and music; all saying “I’m here…I’m here.”  Today I’m going to try to be one of those sparkly, smiley people; with His help, I’m going to look for my place to shine. 🙂  Blessings, Lisa

Every Little Thing….

….is gonna be alright.  Sometimes my dreams of the night before put me into a fretful waking up feeling…has that ever happened to you?  So watching God’s beautiful ocean and listening to the sounds of the waves drowning out all other things is just the prescription.  Listen, pray, breathe, relax…every little thing is gonna be alright.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa
