Through the Lens of Faith

Christmas is very near. This picture brought to mind the title of the song “I saw three ships…” There are so many emotions and memories that arise around the Christmas season. As Christmas Day approaches, it’s important to take a step back. Pretend you’re on one of those three ships. If each of the ships were…

We are inching closer and closer to another year.  What transitions are taking place in you? Are you starting to think about resolutions you want to make in the coming year? Or are you just relaxing in the moment? Sometimes relaxing in the moment is exactly what we need. Taking the time to breathe before…

The winter season can be difficult. Weather is much colder and perhaps snow falls have coated the green grass. At the beginning of this month I still saw roses blooming. I couldn’t believe it. I am the world’s least fan of winter. I wish I could move to the desert some days! But seeing the…

It’s bound to happen. Seasons are always going to be changing. I try to find comfort in that. Especially when I am less fond of particular seasons, say of winter? Remembering that seasons always change, I can have hope that the cold won’t last as long and that spring will bring back the beautiful green…

I’ve been on a search myself to find nutritious food choices that also satisfy cravings for the food that is probably not as good for me. Where do you find nutrition for your soul? The berries in this photo I’m sure are nutritious for some creature. But not everything that looks good is nutritious for…

It amazes me how beautiful different terrains can be. There are rocky paths in this picture, smoothed rocks that are worn from the rushing rapids. There are trees that find fertile soil in which to grow. Our lives have these different terrains. Would you say your path today is rocky? Full of uphill and bumpy…
