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!!

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...

Just What is it About this Time of Year?

  I am musing and marveling about.... Just what is it about this time of year?? It is a time of "peace on Earth, good will to men". It is a time of universal sharing, caring and giving. It is a time when people open their hearts, their homes and their pocketbooks. It is a time of nostalgia; a time of dreaming. It is a time of childhood wonder (no matter your age), It is a time of chorales, symphonies, caroling and ..... humming.  It is a time of togetherness, a time for connectivity (or at least a desire for it). It is a time of extreme busyness (pre-Covid anyway) and yet a time we yearn for quiet and pause. It is a time of reflection. It is a time of memory making and memory stirring. It is a time of healing or a time when healing feels so needed. It is a time of emotion, when feelings reign strong. It is a time when grief hits harder and joys abound more fully. It is a time of beauty and serenity and warmth. It is a time of reaching out and reaching in. It is a time of cozy...
