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

The Gift of Art and Creative Contributions

I am marveling at the Gift of Art and Creative Contributions! Wow. What a lovely day. My legs are tired, but my heart if full. Hubby and I biked another portion of the Hennepin Trail today. Beautiful and historic! So of course, our love affair with God's beautiful creation was stoked. But surprisingly, so was my appreciation for Art. We enjoyed biking past one lock after another, those old engineering marvels from the early days of the 20th century. The trail we biked along was a link to days gone by. For it was the same old pathway utilized by mules as they hauled the barges laden with grain and supplies along the canal joining the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. How I appreciated the old steel rusty structures, the bridges and the locks, with their levers, gears, arches and spokes. They spoke to me of the past. As did the old path itself. There were relatively few people o

What I Saw Today

I am musing... ~11/2020 about what I saw today I stepped into the med room this morning. It is a little room off of the west side nurse's station. It was quiet back there. And what I saw made my heart sing with a sense of grateful comfort. There on the counter, someone had left an open Bible. It was sitting there, a testimony that someone had likely taken a moment to grab a deep breath and glean some divine words of encouragement. It was still open, inviting others to also partake from the comfort of it's living pages. Like for so many, this has been a really tough season for all of us. Nurses, aides, administration, housekeeping, dietary, activities....we all have found ourselves caught up in a reality we did not realize we had signed up for. The extra logistics, anxieties, regulations. uncertainties, fogged up glasses, claustrophobic masks, staffing challenges, reside

God Stories. What's yours?

I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep. It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs
