Time for Me to Fly

I am thinking about birds this morning. They migrate for two reasons….to escape cold weather and to find food. Both of these sound great to me. 🙂 They are born with an amazing God-given instinct to know where to fly, how to get there, how to protect themselves. They also do not have to worry about COVID19, or taking PCR tests to travel, or quarantining. 🙂

And as we await yet another winter storm of snow and ice here in Virginia, I am wishing to be a bird! 🙂 I think I would soar right down to Anguilla in the Caribbean, and stay until April.

Also, I am praying for any of you who might be out of power and heat right now. Praying for quick restoration of power and protection for all of you.

In the meantime, I will be doing a lot of imaginary time traveling over here. Feel free to join me.

Love, Lisa

Snow

Posted on February 1, 2021 by lyonsroarforgod

Snow came to Virginia. Heavy, wet, white, covering, pure snow.

The hush that comes with snow came also, the peace, the stillness.

Some of my favorite snow and winter quotes:

“Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, at the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, when he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, and when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.” -C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.” – Isaiah 1:18

“And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.” – Matthew 28:3

Thank you, God, the giver of the snow and the rain and the wind and the sun. You give us so many good things, things that bring joy and peace to our hearts. You are so good. Love, Lisa

Covering

The beginning of the snow in Virginia, December 2020

Snow comes down, slowly, gently

Covering what was… with what is

Snow makes beautiful what was mundane, marred

Covering what was… with what is

The blessed covering, the quiet, the peace

“Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.” – Psalm 32:1

Dreams and Snowflakes

Posted on November 26, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

We are having snow this morning….thick, wet, huge snowflakes that are melting as soon as they hit the warmer pavement. Which is great with me, as I am a pretty uncourageous snow driver. The snow is fading away quickly, like a good dream that disappears into thin air as you awaken.

But some things, the really good things, never fade away. The love of a special person, the faithfulness of God to us, the promises that God has made in His word that always come to pass, the hope of eternity spent in peace and joy and beauty with Jesus. These things will never pass away, never melt, never fade. I am thankful for these things this morning. Slainte, Lisa

Finnegan’s Snow Day

Posted on February 14, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Being 3 months old, being a puppy, having your whole world turn snowy overnight…Finnegan having an awesome day! Hope your day ahead is full of adventure and new things. Slainte, Lisa

Having scaled the snowy mountain, Finnegan holds fast, legs braced.

“I know that grass is down here somewhere!” Finnegan digs in vain.

Finnegan surrenders to the comforts of a warm couch and a nap.

Think About These Things
