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!

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...
