Moving around obstacles
By
eelliott
There is something I love about this image. The path moves right around the obstacle. It doesn’t stop. It just changes direction for a moment. Sometimes our lives are like that, too. We travel along a certain path and something blocks our way. We may hesitate for a moment, but then we move around the…
Seasons of faith
By
eelliott
As a child my favorite season was autumn. There’s nothing I love more than seeing the trees change colors. I love the vibrant reds, yellows and different shades of green that accompany the season. I hesitate, each year, to admit and recognize that those leaves signal another change – the change to a colder, darker…
Webs we weave
By
eelliott
Sometimes our faith lives can get sticky. There can be so many different ways we are pulled in life that it’s hard to focus on our faith. Cobwebs can be so messy, especially when you are running late to something and run into one of these, usually beautiful, webs and have to slow down long…
We are intertwined
By
eelliott
One thing I have learned over my years of life is how intertwined and interwoven everyone is. Each experience we have, and each person we meet, leads us to someone else or something else. When I look back on the people I have known, people I have met at different points in my life, I’m…
Faith in the distance
By
eelliott
Are you a person that sees the big picture? Or are you one that only sees what is right in front of you? I think I tend to be one that sees the overall picture for the most part. Sometimes when I feel the goal is too far away then I might get frustrated and…
Rising from the rubble
By
eelliott
It can be difficult when it seems everything is falling apart. There are so many pieces of rubble around you. It can seem overwhelming when you look at the pieces individually, too many to number. But there’s another side to the rubble. It’s the side that shows that something new will rise. It’s the side…
One track of faith
By
eelliott
Our individual lives are so intertwined these days with others in the world. If you go to a store, you are bound to see someone you know. Or if you go to a show, there may be someone who is there that knows you or someone you know. This can be especially true if you…
Blooming in the fall of faith
By
eelliott
One of the things that amazes me about this world is how there are so many different climates and how things can grow long into the season that you would think it wouldn’t last. A rose is in full bloom later in the year and it reminds me of how no matter what season…
Boats in the harbor of faith
By
eelliott
Imagine yourself on a boat, sitting in the harbor. Are you anxious to set sail? Are you fine with just sitting and observing? Look at the boats around you. They are all different. The concept of moving across the water is the same, no matter what the vessel looks like. Do you ever find yourself…
Stacking the Deck in Faith
By
eelliott
A nice card game can provide a distraction from the cold and dreary nights. The 52 cards can mix up in so many different ways for hours of fun. I like that there are the same amount of cards as there are weeks in the year. If you have a hard time counting blessings or…
