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!!

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...

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...
