When I washed, I saw. ~John 9:11 (Message) There’s a hush this morning. Branches bow under the weight of wet white grace. I stand robe-wrapped and slippered on the porch and drink His whispers. Come to me all who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Giant flakes fall, and boughs droop to […]
The Gift of Paying Attention
I don’t remember now when I first started to pay attention. When I first picked up the baby camera and started to see through a new lens. Took those first steps. When I started to look for details or to see in a new light. My husband, ever patient, waits as I trail behind […]
Still Saturday
Be. Still. Know. I Am. God. ~Psalm 46:10 Taking a break from words on Saturdays. Just to be still and know. I’d love for you to join me. Just link to a photo in a comment below that caused to you breathe deeply or gasp in wonder. A slice of time when you saw Him. I’ll try to–I […]
Waiting with Courage
The rain’s shredded the white and left only scraps. The birds flock to the feeder, smother it. They dance on bare limbs. It’s easier to see them in winter. I suspect a lot of things become more clear in winter. I’ve got work to do, but I’d rather be here. In front of the window. […]
Saturday’s Health Snippet: One Simple Way to De-Frazzle
“Stop! Back up!” The car skidded to a stop in the dirt. Dennis backed up, and I jumped out, camera in hand. He patiently (I think) followed me down the long drive, stopped and waited while I tiptoed through mud and scrambled over briars seeking beauty in the broken and the barren and the brown. […]
Sunday Seasoned Sayings: Stand Still and See
(Sanderling standing still at the edge of Lake Superior) Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes! ~1 Samuel 12:16 (NIV)
God Moments with G-Ma and Grace: Sugarloaf Mountain
We stay on the island as long as possible and then cross the Mighty Mac to the upper peninsula. Grace has waited for this all day. We travel west along Lake Superior and soak in the wonder of sky and water. Later He wraps us in pink and lavender and gold. The next day we decide […]
Monday Meditation: I Almost Missed It
I almost missed it. Nose in Bible. Pen in journal. But I looked up. Out into the field. And watched a male turkey try to gain the attention of several females. Who paid him no mind. He fluffed. He fanned. He followed. Back and forth. The caboose on the train. The shovel in the parade. […]
Monday Meditation: See
Worship is a way of seeing the world in the light of God. ~Abraham Hershel I want to see God. I want to see His magic in every moment. To go deep with Him in the ordinary and experience the extraordinary. To not just see Him but behold Him. And see the world in His […]
Monday Meditation~Dive
He who would search for pearls must dive below. John Dryden Dive! I’m not sure I could get geared up about deep sea diving. As in scuba. Going down with all that extra weight. Hoping not to lose my lifeline or come back up too fast. But I’ve snorkled in the Caribbean. And the Atlantic, […]
