Looking Up!

 Looking Up!


There are times we feel down. Burdened. Concerned.

 Look up! See the glorious blue sky. See the radiant light shining through. 

Looking up is a hopeful thing to do.

It is where the light is. Where it comes from. 

It is where our "help comes from".  ( I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from where my help comes from, my help comes from the Lord  Psalm 121:1-2)

Up is a place of hopeful vastness that ushers in peace, perspective and assurance!

Why?

Our omnipresent God, whose Spirit dwells within us, occupies the Heavens.

And it is He to Whom we "look up to".

He can take our sorrows and our times of challenge or confusion or misunderstanding or brokenness, and shed light upon the situation, in such a way, that we find redemption and beauty, potential clarity and understanding. Because of His love.

It does not mean that we will not still hurt, or carry burdens and concerns. 

It does not mean that we may have work to do, real life to live, hurts to mend, stuggles to navigate...

But it does mean that as we look up and look to our loving, caring God, that....

in doing so, as we trust in our all-mighty God, that things will have a way of "looking up"!

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...

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...

Preeminence

I am musing.... about Preeminence Preeminence. I LOVE that word! I use that word...alot. I think it. I pray it. I go back to it. Time and again. It gives me comfort and realignment. It helps me navigate life. It gives hope, reassurance, peace and purpose. Why? Because of the context in which I use it. CHRIST IS THE PREEMINENCE! He is my all-in-all! He is on the throne! He has all things. He is all knowing and all powerful and all present! And there-in I find hope and comfort and reassurance and peace and realignment and purpose. When Satan throws those darts of doubt and fear, I raise my shield of faith and shout from my soul “HE IS THE PREEMINENCE!” Life can be going along. Hunky Dory. Life is good. I have been able to touch base with all the kiddos and the grandkiddos:) I have had my sweet grandbaby-time (whether in my arms or on Facebook). My hubby seems happy and content. The house is clean (enough). Work is going well. Bible Study is scheduled for th...
