INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL STORIES
LOVING LIFE AND SHARING IT
I love to share other perspectives on what could have been a disaster and upset for us in these difficulties and show that God is able to work all things together for good, for His purposes. Sometimes it is a point of new growth and where once we were stunted, the dead wood had been trimmed away allowing new heathy growth to take place. Sometimes we just need a bit of help and guidance through the difficult places before we get that breakthrough.
TRANSFORMING THE BRIDE
If we each maintain our own identity and function and accept everyone else’s identity and function as God given and as part of the whole, together we can transform the Bride of Christ because the Church will be known “because they love one another”. A tree will not survive if any one of the four components are missing so we need each other to grow in love and unity so we may be THE Bride and not many brides.
THE WHEEL HAS MADE A FULL TURN!
I hope if you have struggled to find that God is Love, you may have the scales removed from your eyes so instead of seeing everything within rigid black and white lines, you can see the radiant burst of color and light that emanates from Him through His creation and eventually be able to appreciate that He is Love and loves you with an everlasting love.
REFLECTIONS ON RETIREMENT
Difficult and diverse life circumstances build resilience and faith in Someone who is bigger than you, who cares for you, protects and provides even though you may not see it in the moment.
‘LEAVES’ ME WONDERING
Everything in nature is connected and our well being depends on us taking notice of the small things like leaves and choosing good habits and attitudes, treating the land and our neighbors with love and respect
TREASURES AT YOUR FEET
Sometimes it is the quiet and inconspicuous things that we pass by, that would be the most helpful for us in processing our grief or our loss.
SPRING FORWARD – FALL BACK
w
We may be able to manipulate the hands of a clock but in life what is done cannot be undone and what is past is gone.
ASK THE BIRDS AND THEY WILL TELL YOU!
Migration has been God’s way of preserving His people, from the nomadic Israelites to modern man. Yes, nature will inform you -your Heavenly Father loves and values you more than even the birds whom He feeds daily and takes infinite care of.
Looking at the Landscape with Intention
There are some people who are created like that walnut and it takes a lot of time and processing to become all of what God made them to be. This should be a lesson in patience for us with slow growers until their developing and bearing process comes to fruition.
