To the Moon and Back!

I am marveling at...

"to the moon and back"!

How many times of late have we heard the phrase "I love you to the moon and back"! Wow. That sounds like a lot of love. And it is meant to.

But what about the love of our Heavenly Father! The love of Jesus, His Son! His love is beyond measure! It is as far as "the east is from the rest". It is infinite and oh so real. It is made real to us in so many ways.

But mostly in the way our Heavenly Father paved a means for us to bridge the gap of sin; to find personal relationship with our loving Creator God. To find a place of deep and ultimate peace. To have an invitation extended to spend eternity in the glories of Heavenly Splendor in the presence of LOVE itself.

For our Jesus, left the glories and the beauty, not to mention His place in Heaven and came to this deplorable earth. He experienced the pain and heartache of mocking men, of total misunderstanding, of dealing with this world's sin and anger. Of taking on the sins of all mankind. Of experiencing the full wrath of His Father, meant for you and me; unleashed upon Him. Of staying there. On the cross. Separated from the Father. Of seeing the Father's plan through...to the bitter and beautiful end!

What greater love! Listen and hear your Savior tenderly say to you, even from the glorious Splendor of His Heavenly Home where he has "gone to prepare a place for you".....

"I love you, my Child...... to the cross and back"!

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
