Happy New Day!

 

I am musing about....

wishing you all, my dear readers, a...

Happy New Day 

AND 

a Happy New Year!!


There is something about the marking of time that reigns significant within the human spirit! 

I think we all appreciate a new opportunity, a chance to reflect and evaluate, an obvious way to acknowledge the passing of time.

There is something redeeming about a new year. A new chance. A time to "start over" if you will, to approach life afresh.

But there is where I want to take this, dear readers.

Are not God's mercies new every morning?

Is His grace not there for us each and every day anew??

How good He is!

How understanding and generous as He promises, we His struggling creation, to be there for us, time and again, with an outpouring of His "steadfast love" and an abundance of His available help and grace! 

He does not give up on us. His love never runs out. It is fresh every morning (actually every moment). It is there for the taking. We just need to humble ourselves, recognize our need, and reach out and take. Gratefully. Of His mercy and His grace. His power and His love.

I know that for many, 2022 has been a doozy of a year. So many have suffered in one way or another. It has been a year of difficulty in many ways for many people. We too have had some challenges this past year. For sure.  But we all, as God's children, can attest to His faithfulness through it all. We may not always understand. Things can be hard and can hurt. But we all can look forward to the new year and each new day with renewed gratefulness. Because of the hope and the purpose that we find in Him!

So Happy New Day dear ones. And Happy New Year! May 2023 be a good one. A wonderful one. As you (and each of us) continue to grow in His love, understanding, joy and ways....

with each New Day!!

This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.      Psalm 118:24

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.  Lam. 3:22-24

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...
