The Newborn Perspective






I am marveling....

At the Newborn Perspective.

Can we all not agree that when we hold a precious, beautiful newborn child, fresh from the hands of God...it affects our perspective?

Life becomes refreshed. We feel something inside that only holding a newborn close to our heart stirs within us.

When they look into our eyes, first beginning to grasp the reality of love, seeing the soft smile and the moistened eyes and hearing the soothing lilt of our voice as we welcome them into our life and heart....it just does something... to us.

As we sit and rock a velvety soft little baby....the confusion and crazy of the world seems to dissipate.
For a time...it seems that "all is right with the world".

Their sweet, fresh, innocence strikes a chord in our inner soul that sends pure and unadulterated joy coursing through our being.

God asks each of us to become as a little child. May we all have that "NEWBORN PERSPECTIVE".

He wants us to look up at Him with those trusting, open eyes...ready to take in all He has to teach us, all He wants to show us.

He wants us to drink in His love, to be nourished by the milk of His grace that we might grow up strong and ready to fulfill the purpose He has for us.

That is my prayer for each of my precious little grandchildren...that they would all come to know, love and serve Him with all their heart and to accomplish the purpose He created them for.

And that is the prayer I still need to pray for myself each and every day.

Thank you Lord for sweet reminders that take us back to what life is all about.

As we snuggle precious newborns to our heart...may we reflect and thank God for the gift of new life...

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again. John 3:7

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

Misunderstanding Understanding

  I am musing about...  Misunderstanding Understanding (the understanding of misunderstanding :) ) We all have been involved in misunderstandings; in being misunderstood. It is logical to see how this can happen. We all look at situations according to our  own "story", our personal experiences and our own  interpretation of life. There are times we say something, and it is simply taken "the wrong way". There are times someone says something to us, and we take it "the wrong way". The sad thing is when this misunderstanding goes uncorrected; when it influences behavior, emotions and relationships. That is why good communication is so important. That is why prayer is so needful. Do we pray that God will guide our words and conversations? Do we pray that God will prepare the hearts of those we may plan to speak with regarding a somewhat deep situation? But then there are those spontaneous, if you will, interactions. Those supposedly harmless statements that so...

Just What is it About this Time of Year?

  I am musing and marveling about.... Just what is it about this time of year?? It is a time of "peace on Earth, good will to men". It is a time of universal sharing, caring and giving. It is a time when people open their hearts, their homes and their pocketbooks. It is a time of nostalgia; a time of dreaming. It is a time of childhood wonder (no matter your age), It is a time of chorales, symphonies, caroling and ..... humming.  It is a time of togetherness, a time for connectivity (or at least a desire for it). It is a time of extreme busyness (pre-Covid anyway) and yet a time we yearn for quiet and pause. It is a time of reflection. It is a time of memory making and memory stirring. It is a time of healing or a time when healing feels so needed. It is a time of emotion, when feelings reign strong. It is a time when grief hits harder and joys abound more fully. It is a time of beauty and serenity and warmth. It is a time of reaching out and reaching in. It is a time of cozy...
