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

A story of a story of The Story

   Updated:  Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...

Free to Destruct or Thrive

  On this Veteran's Day, I am musing about how we are... FREE! Free.... to destruct or thrive!  0h THANK YOU Heavenly Father for the free nation that is ours! THANK YOU to our service men and women of today and to all those who willingly fought and unselfishly gave...so that we could be free. Free to let our voice by heard, to worship as we please, to vote our conscience! Are these freedoms being challenged? Yes! Is free speech being censored? Yes! Oh there are concerns...ample concerns! So, a disclaimer of sorts. Is what I am about to relate my own humble, personal opinion?  Yes, it is. I am basing it on God's Word which is where I obtain my world view. Which is where I find Truth. Dear readers, I surmise that most of you agree with me, but if you do not, that is your right. We both have rights to express our opinions.And that is because we live in a country that allows us this privilege! And for that, I am thankful! Aren't you? So, getting back to my message. Yes, there...

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...
