Heres Another Way To Put It: Youre Here To Be Light, Bringing Out The God-colors In The World. God Is

“Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 MSG. So many small lights make great impact in darkness…..it’s all about Love, all about Him…..Soli Deo Gloria….Joyeux Vendredi, mes amis et Shabbat Shalom!

Rubbing noses with me, she laughed, and I swear the Elysian night sang with the sound of it. Jovee Winters. A nose peeked out to greet us at the stoplight.....yes, I DO take notice of the oddest things....then go so far as to take a picture of them... lol...in any event, Bon Dimanche, mes amis!

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free. Arthur Schopenhauer Well, Mr, Schopenhauer, I do get where you’re going with this, I’d counter that as a believer in G-d, we’re never alone, but He’s with us in our solitude……therefore, in solitude we can truly engage in & embrace our freedom. If we never need experience the depths of despair & loneliness, then solitude becomes a respite where we are truly able to be free & can take that joy to the rest of our lives…….okay, wow, didn’t see that coming, stepping down from the soapbox….this concludes Morning Musings with an English Major (who apparently is a closet Philosopher-who knew?:-). Bon Mercredi, mes amis!

And she was fair as is the rose in May. Geoffrey Chaucer And the rose was as fair as she….Bon Mardi, mais amis!

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Look at the base of this mushroom…..having braved it’s way to grow into the middle of this stump it’s now sheltering new wee ones at it’s base…..I’m forever grateful for those who have come alongside to tutor, mentor, pass along wisdom, brave souls who’ve been there & done that & are willing to share their hard won expertise…..you have made a difference…….thank you….I’m hoping I do the same…….Bon Mardi, mes amis!

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

Ziggy. Yep, I do believe I’m on the rejoicing end, because, as you can see, these thorns have some pretty gorgeous roses in my front garden this week…….just sayin’….,Bon Samedi, mes amis!
