{this moment} ~ A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

This Moment ~ capturing this wonderful evening in one picture. An evening of mother/daughter serving an organization we are deeply involved with and enjoying the live music played by some of our favorite bands.

Look Up

Look Up (Reflections from the book, Misplacing God (and finding Him again)
To Find God
Romans 1:20 tells us that God is not distant, not hiding. His invisible attributes are displayed daily through his creation. The Psalms are full of word pictures taken from nature to describe the Creator of all. Yet in the day to day rhythm it is so easy to find oneself disconnected, to miss the Lover of our Soul.
Is He hiding when life gets busy and hard?
Jeremiah 29:12-14 tells us “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord.”
Are you missing Him? Wondering how to catch hold of Him, how to carry Him with you as the children wake and the husband leaves for work and the to-do list is there upon the table, and you were just too tired to get up with the early alarm?
Look Up
LOOK UP!
I want to encourage you today, even if only for a moment, Look Up.
Look beyond all that is right there around you and gaze for a moment upon the idea that God loves you, and is there with you.
He isn’t hiding, and in His Word He promises to be found by you.
Even When Dark Clouds the Way, Especially When Dark Clouds the Way

This Moment
Lately I haven’t been on the computer much until late in the evening, and some things are getting left on the back burner. Late last week I woke the kids (late) and told them we were heading out for the day. Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park are 2 of my favorite places and we have not made the 3.5 hour trip in a long time, so we loaded up and headed north and west.
Mountain Hike/Run
With the late start and a little dwaddling we arrived pretty late in the day, but still had time to walk to Alberta Falls. With “baby kitty” the little short legged toddler with us, some of us were moving very slow. My two longer legged girls were itching to go for a run, so off they ran.
It was a blessing to hear their laughter and chatter as they dashed off. It was also a joy to walk along with Mae and “baby kitty”. I am so treasuring these days with my teen and preteen daughters. The years are passing quickly by so I will continue to grab them from time to time and head out away from homework and screens to just enjoy a little outdoors time together.
