Contacts

 

I am marveling about.....


Contacts 


Is anyone else amazed at contacts? A small, round, disposable disc that fits on the eye and enables us to go about our business of life with clarity of vision! I was, well, older, when I first started using these amazing inventions. Earlier this year in fact. I will not say that it was an easy learning curve; the insertion and removal part. I may have asked for prayers. I may have made multiple trips to my eye Dr.  I may have called a neighbor who works for an eye Dr. to come over and talk me through a difficult removal one evening (thank you friend:)).

But now that I have thankfully caught onto it, I am humbly grateful every day for their blessed benefit. To be able to see like I used to and to not need to deal with reading glasses is, well, suffice it to say... a gift!

 But how much better the gift that Jesus has given all of those who believe on His name. Spiritual vision! The ability to see life with an eternal clarity that defies the blurry lines of this world's hurts, confusion and challenges. 

And how do we get this spiritual vision? By inserting Faith into our lives, a faith that comes from making contact with our Savior. There was the initial contact of surrender and repentance, like the initial prescription that our eye Dr. made to fit our personal vision need. We all have the same prescription for the eternal vision that gives us eternal life: Belief in the saving blood of Jesus Christ!

 And just as we need to daily insert our contacts in order to have clear vision, so we need daily contact with our Lord and Savior to be able to function with clear Spiritual sight and perspective.

Thank you Jesus for making this possible, for the contact of your love as you give us heavenly vision!

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...

PILGRIMS

  I am musing about... Pilgrims. Do you like "the pilgrims"? I like them. I loved the stories we heard in school of how they came from across the ocean in search of religious freedom and greater opportunity. I was touched by the accounts of the hardships they faced; loss at sea, sickness, extreme cold, needing to clear a wild land to build rustic shelters and prepare virgin soil for the planting of seeds. All while dangers surrounded them on every side. I love the redeeming story of that first Thanksgiving; a table laden with the fruits of their first bountiful harvest. A time of gathering with friends, new and old, those from their home land and those from their new land. I love the beautiful story of the kind natives who came along side them, providing practical help and instruction. It was a joyful time of giving thanks to God for His provision and faithfulness. The early pilgrims helped form the backbone of our country. They exemplified courage! They exhibited a strong an...

A story of a story of The Story

   Updated:  Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...
