the Light Shines Through!

I am marveling

at how the Light shines through

Don't we all love light?

Light glistening on a mountain lake.

Light shining through a colored leaf.

Light creating a mood of awe and serenity as it colors the evening sky.

Light breaking through darkness at the flip of a switch.

Light flickering hope by the glow of a candle in a darkened room.

Light providing warmth from the crackle of a fire blazing bright on a chilly fall night.

Light in the eyes as they twinkle with comprehension.

Light upon the face of a child looking up at love looking down.

Light creating that "happy" that seems to resonate with us all as we lift up our faces to be kissed by the sun.

Light shining forth at daybreak; splitting the eastern sky with the hope of new day.

Light.

Jesus shared this Truth...."I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

What a difference light makes.

No wonder. Consider the source! The beautiful, authentic, original, glorious, redeeming source!

May it shine in us, around us and upon us!

And through us. Even as the rays of the setting sun can set an autumn leaf aglow!

His.

Light!

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...

There once was a fly....

I am musing on a story that begins like this.... There once was a fly. There once was a fly. It lived in Salt Lake City. More specifically, in Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah. Kingsbury Hall is the Performing Arts Center. So that fly had the opportunity to view many productions. Last night, that fly was viewing a televised production that likely millions were watching. As that fly buzzed around, it decided to land on a nice head of white hair. And stay there awhile. Little did he know, that he was sitting on the head of the Vice President of the United States. Little did he know how important the role of Vice President of the United States is. Little did he know how important the upcoming election which was being debated is. Little did he know how much of that country's future was at stake. Little did he know how many prayers were being offered for that man upon whose head he sat... and for those he works with Little did he know of the challenges that...

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, aide...
