See me!: Sunrise calling

Standard

Light is beautiful wherever you find it.

image

Peeking through trees and laceing green leaves.

image

Or kissing petals at morning’s first light.

image

The dew on petals the dew on grass shine like diamonds and are gone so fast.

image

image

image

Then in places unexpected the light brings shine and reflects the beauty of sky and pine.

image

Even passers by seem halo adorned in white with morning glow.  Do they see it on me?

image

Now on the fence

image

Or down beneath the kiss of light is just as sweet.

image

image

Now through the fence

image

Or through the bough

image

Close to the bark

image

image

image

Or in a row

image

It all sings glory

image

And softly invites

image

See me.  See me.  See me!

image

image

image

Good morning!

Follow the light and find the blessing

I came early to work to complete my hands on portion of the Basic Life Support certification.   As I got out of my car the sunrise was painting a golden glow around the silouette of the hospital.

Approaching the classroom I was dazzled by the reflected light streaming through the window at the end of the hall and I heard it the light saying the best is yet to come.  So I went to see more.

It was true. 

May you hear the call to see more today and find God there waiting to bless you!

Glory in the garage: finding the light in the strangest places

Standard

Walking out to the parking garage after work I almost had my breath taken away by the beauty of the setting sun flooding the space.  There was no hiding from the sun and everything cold and familiar was transformed into jaw dropping, breathtaking beauty.  Come, see if you don’t agree then marvel and ponder:  what changed the mundane into a miracle?

The answer, of course, is that nothing changed inside the garage except the time of day.  God says He makes all things beautiful in His time.  Do you want to be beautiful?  Ask God to reveal Himself to you.  Ask Him to show you who He really is.  Seek and you will find.  Knock and the door shall be opened.  Ask and it shall be given.  God says “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, plans for your welfare and not calamity.

Then you will call upon Me and I will listen to you and you will seek Me and find Me when you look for  Me with all your heart.

De-light

Standard

De-light!

In awe and wonder I see Your light ‘tween clouds dark grey with promise full. I look to peek in hopes to glimpse the mount from which You reign and rule. Then, eyes cast down to petals small I see Your touch reveal its soul. But none speaks You and light and love so clearly as this little dove.

What is it about the light?

Standard

I have been fascinated with light and shadows for as long as I can remember.  image

I often well up with tears at the beauty of light shining on surfaces or transforming objects by shining through from one side to the other.
  This collection of photos were taken from my Droid cell phone after my 2 mile run through
the neighborhood.  The first pic is actually a smoke plume from a large fire in the Angeles National Forest raging in the distance.  Its been a very hot and windy past 2 weeks here in Southern California.image

Following the light

Standard

My eyes were arrested by the beauty of the light shining through the arbor on my way to the parking garage after work.  Again, at home I was taken aback by what looked like lights left on upstairs.  As I walked into the room I discovered it was the sun shining through the window on our  pendulum light then onto the wall behind then from the wall behind the pendulum to the opposite wall.  Awesome!!!image
