Love like there’s no tomorrow,
and if tomorrow comes,
love again.

Fisgard Lighthouse
Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island
looking for boats to save;
they just stand there shining.

adirondack chairs
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful;
for beauty is God’s handwriting – a wayside sacrament.
Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower,
and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
morning colours
I see Your face in every sunrise
The colours of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakened in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful
~ Phil Wickham
Advent
Through the heart of tender mercy and loving-kindness of our God,
a Light from on high will dawn upon us and visit us,
To shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace.
~ Luke 1:78-79 Amplified
above the clouds
It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky.
Behind me and before me is God
and I have no fears.
~ Helen Keller
sunrise brushstroke
It was an early morning well rewarded:
first waiting in the dark,
next getting rained on periodically,
then being treated to this living canvas of light, shadow, shifting forms, colour,
and finally watching the Artist’s vivid brushstroke spread across the sky.
longing
It was when I was happiest that I longed most…
The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing…
to find the place where all the beauty came from.”
~ C.S. Lewis, “Till We Have Faces”
joyful dawn
They who dwell in the ends of the earth
stand in awe of Your signs;
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy!
~ Psalm 65:7-9

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank.
Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
~ William Shakespeare
