The Maker of Fall

 

I am musing on....

Falling on the Maker of Fall!


Let us fall on the Maker of Fall!

This beautiful time of year! A time of color, cozy, crispness and gathering.

A time to gather in the fruits after a season of growth.

A time to glean, prune and prepare for the oncoming of cold. Of short days.

A time to gather with friends, around a fire for fellowship and warmth

A time to reflect on the Creator's magnificence and His ability to beautify the world around us with His touch; painting the trees in glorious hues, the barren fields in pretty tones, the sky in  vibrant blues against the pure white floating clouds.

A time to recognize that with the coming reality of decay and stagnant growth, that surely, as He wills, Spring will come again and the land will once again blossom and be rebirthed in new Glory. Oh the analogy this provides of our life here and our eternal hope in all that awaits!

So let us fall on Him each and every day.

Leaning on Him for strength, renewal and perspective.

He is the giver of joy and color and all things good!

During the cooler, quieter months ahead (for us in the Midwest) let us lean in and allow ourselves to be warmed by His presence!

Let us all fall on the glorious Maker of Fall! 

And He will lift us up!!

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...

The Pacemaker of my Heart

  I am musing about.... The Pacemaker. My pacemaker. So I got one. Last Wednesday. Unexpectedly. At the age of 64! I started noticing that I was light headed with standing. Kept an eye on it. My Physician's Assistant son in law checked my B/P. It was great. Standing B/P-was great. Pulse...was low. Quite low. Mmmm.... Kept watching. Labs (thankfully normal). Eventual ER visit. EKG. Found out I had a 2nd degree heart block! (an electrical cardiac issue where-by the electrical impulse system is blocked for some reason, causing a problem with the stimulus for a beat not communicating correctly to the actual heart muscle which is responsible for the contraction) What? When? How? Within 48 hours of discovering this...I have a new friend. A pacemaker inserted for life. To assure that my heart does not get too low relative to this "electrical conduction" problem. "One of those things". Well, I am still processing all of this. Just seems weird. But I am thankful. Thankfu...
