There are many roads, many choices. Hypothetically, you want to get past this field and head towards the far off mountain. Which path do you decide upon?

Wisdom Wednesday
Some Wednesday Wisdom
A cabin with plenty of food is better than a hungry castle.
May you never forget what is worth remembering, or remember what is best forgotten.
Humor to a man is like a feather pillow. It is filled with what is easy to get but gives great comfort.
A good retreat is better than a bad stand.
Life is like a cup of tea, it’s all in how you make it!
(shameless product placement, but as a Lyons I feel compelled 🙂 )
I pray wisdom and humor and laughter and joy for your day! Slan, Lisa
Doing Something Different
One of my favorite things about Ireland are the sheep. They are everywhere out in the country, and usually stay together, like this herd outside the gates of Kells Priory.
But as we went inside to explore further, we found two little sheep that were doing their own relaxing for the day. They had decided to go on holiday, and we’re so glad they did.
Follow the crowd if you must today, but make sure they’re headed somewhere good. If not, break away and find your own spot. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
The Adventurous Trail
“You are on an adventurous trail with Me. This is not an easy time, but it is nonetheless good – full of blessings as well as struggles. Be open to learning all that I want to teach you as you journey through challenging terrain. And be willing to let go of familiar comforts so you can say a wholehearted “Yes!” to this adventure. I will give you everything you need to cope with the challenges you face…..”
I had to share with all of you part of a little book that I heartily recommend. Jesus Today by Sarah Young. I read it every morning for my time with God, and it has helped to encourage me so much. (This is no small thing, because I am terrible about being regular with devotions.) The author has gone through some pretty challenging health struggles before writing this book, and uses the things she has learned from God along the journey. So look for it….it will definitely encourage you and remind you that you are never, ever alone. Slainte, Lisa
Living Now
Animals are always therapeutic to watch. They live life, unconcerned about what may happen tomorrow, not mulling over what happened last week…mostly just thinking about now. About food now, about a soft place to lay, about enjoying their walk. Take these sheep for instance; they are eating, seemingly unaware of the impending cliff dropoff in front of them by only a few feet. Yet amazingly they never got even close to falling off the whole time we were there. Their little feet instinctively seemed to know where to walk.
I need to be a sheep. Or my dog. Just trusting, enjoying the now, and walking by the Light of God that guides me away from cliffs. Blessings, Lisa
