Aliveness!

 

I am musing about....

ALIVENESS!

Aren't these little balls of yellow fluff adorable?

Who doesn't think baby chicks are cute?

There is something so indicative of Spring and new life in observing a baby chick.

The empty shell from which it hatched creates a wonderful metaphor of the empty tomb from which Christ burst forth unto new life!

But in regards to the image on this post, as you may or may not have wondered, those chicks are not real. I found them on Amazon and thought they would be cute to give to the grandkids:)

But the fact that they look so alive and real despite the fact that they are not, made me think.....

As children of God we are blessed with an amazing, humbling and exciting reality.....Christ is alive inside of us!!

But how alive are we allowing Him to be?

His power is unlimited! His might beyond fathomability. It is there.

But are we tapping into this wonderful source of power to it's fullest?

Is He as alive within us as He can be?

Or is it as if He is asleep in the tomb of our heart? He isn't asleep of course. But He is waiting and ready for us to awaken to Him.  Have we allowed Him to become alive and vivacious, to work mightily in and through us?

During this wonderful Easter season, as we contemplate the miracle of new birth, and rejoice in the  wonder of our risen Lord and King, may we go forth with renewed intention. May we tap into the power of our risen Lord dwelling within us! As we read His Word and reflect on His ways, as we seek Him in prayer and with an open, reverent heart of worship, He will become more and more alive within us. And life will take on greater meaning.  We will step into a season of renewed joy and purpose.

Have a Blessed Easter, dear ones, celebrating our Risen Savior and King!!

A Valentine's Love Letter

   A Valentine's Love Letter On this Valentine's Day, how many of you got a card from someone you love? Precious words that made you feel cared about, treasured...loved! It means alot doesn't it? I especially appreciate when those cards have my husband's (or children's) own handwriting on them, their personal expression, their genuine sentiments of endearment. And so may I take this opportunity to remind all of you, that God has written a love letter for you. Written in red even (perfect for Valentine's Day)! His Holy Bible is your love letter, for it delivers the beautiful Gospel message, the proclamation of hope, the recipe for joy, the instruction manuel for life, the map for salvation. His letter shares of His Creator heart, of His desire for relationship, to have those He can pour all His love into and on. It relates of how He miraculously and lovingly created a beatiful world for His creation. Of how He realized that only by giving His created people a fre...

When life is hard. Really hard

  I am musing about... When life is hard. Really hard. There are dear ones who's lives are hard. There is no other way to put it. At times, I think about those who live in third world countries, or in slums, or the ghetto, or crack houses. Those who were born into poverty and pain. Those involved in addiction, maybe trafficking, sickness, heartache and despair. It is real. It sounds beyond hard. It breaks my heart. But not enough. There are those who appear to have good lives in a middle or upper class situation. But their lives are  full of challenges, confusion and sadness. There are those who things just do not seem to go well for. They suffer rejection and disapointment time and again. There are those who find themselves reaching for things they know they should not to try to heal the hurt. Even those who have reached for the Great Physician and have come to know His love and grace, and still they succumb and fall. And the layers of hard deepen. I recently listened to an a...

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...
