Peanuts Classic

I still love Peanuts and Charlie Brown......I was watching the classic Charlie Brown Christmas with my grandsons recently and when my favorite part came I was filled with so much joy and comfort. It is where the characters are on the stage and Linus says  "I'll tell you what Christmas is about Charlie Brown.....(the lights are dimmed to just a spot light on Linus) "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all people....For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

I love Linus' little voice....he is so confident and sure....he is ssssooo correct.  There isn't a more comforting, hopeful, joyful feeling than when I hear those words.

If I Love Jesus

As I progress through Advent and every day of my life asking Jesus to draw me closer to Him....this, from St. Peter Julian Eymard is one of my favorite inspirations.

Yaquina Lighthouse in the Fog 14" x 14" Throw Pillow for Sale by Sharon Elliott

Yaquina Lighthouse in fog during the early morning hours, gives way by noonish to beautiful sunlit days on the Oregon Coast, near Newport Oregon. 

One of the most beautiful lighthouses in America, the Yaquina Head Light is a magnet for photographers and tourists, who can see it from U.S. 101, the Pacific Coast Highway. The magnificent rock outcropping on which the light station stands is a magnet of a more literal variety. At its core is a rich vein of magnetized iron that raises cain with the compasses of ships passing nearby. Most vessels sailing up and down the Oregon coast give this light a wide berth. Not just because their compasses dance, but because numerous ships have come to grief along this stretch of coast, many within sight of the lighthouse.
Yaquina Light was completed in 1873, and at the top of it's 93 foot high tower is an extraordinary twelve-foot-high first-order Fresnel lens that cast a light-beam that can be seen miles out to sea. The Fresnel lens is situated at a height of 162 feet above sea level, and flashes intervals of red then white light. To extend the reach of its warning, the station broadcasts a radio beacon.

Proverbs 17:17

As I was driving through the country areas near Orofino Idaho.....really wanting to find a field of a wild flower that blooms in the spring....the name of the flower escapes me at this moment........anyway, I walked up to this fence to get a closer view and these two horses and some others came from across the field to greet me. These two stood out....who says they don't have emotions.....

Verse Prints....Simple Gift

Simple words of Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let us be Silent......in our hearts and minds.....that we can hear God speak to us. Taking time each day for Adoration or just quiet meditation is one of my favorite things to do. This image of the fog defused light of the sun, spoke these words to me. Fog and snow create a felling of quiet within our souls.
