Be Inspired For You

Wanted: more to inspire others and fewer to throw cold water on them…

Mountain Strength

Destination: reached.

Around here that is a major accomplishment not to be taken lightly.  How about shooting off some fireworks?

Want to take a peek out of the car window yesterday evening?

Look at the colors in that sky. Wow!  (Reminder: After every sunset comes a sunrise.)

This is what I saw when I walked outside today.

Mountains!

Have I told you I LOVE the mountains?

The mountains rise majestically into the sky, solid as rock, powerful, immovable, full of steady strength, the kind of supernatural strength that is uncommon today.

Nothing can move them.  They are there to stay.

The kind of strength that gives us comfort.

As humans, we are unfamiliar with that kind of steady dedication.

But as humans, we crave it.

Be a mountain in someone else’s life.  And by that, I mean, be strong and be dependable.  Be the person someone else can trust to always be there beyond a shadow of doubt.  There just might be someone who is counting on you.

Be the person someone else can feel safe with.

There might be someone who is hurting deeply, who is worse than depressed, and you can give them a reason to continue believing in humanity.

There might be somebody who needs to hold onto you because you are the only rock left in their life.

To them, you are a mighty mountain of supernatural strength.

Hold onto them.  Now.   Give them a reason to believe.

Give them a reason to hope.

You may not ever know what lives you may have saved or changed, simply by living your life every day as a strong steady person  in whom others can believe.

There’s scenery behind me, like you wouldn’t believe.

Actually, if you were here, you would probably be telling me I’m looking in the wrong direction.  :-) We’ll head on out that way tomorrow.

I’ll leave you in suspense.

Meanwhile, I’ll get some rest.

a very exhausted M.E.

P.S.  Is it any wonder that David once wrote, ”Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.”  He wrote that about his God.         It is a comforting thought.

Vacation Pictures

I don’t write much about my personal life, do I?

Maybe I’ll post vacation pictures, soon. That way you can see the places I like to go.
I love where I live, but there’s also nothing like getting out and enjoying a vacation.

You see, when I am face to face with beautiful scenery, I react to it in the following ways:

When I’m on the mountaintop, I feel I have the world at my feet. like I have conquered. (Even though I’ve driven all the way to the top.)

There’s a beautiful sunrise, and my jaw drops.

There’s a beautiful sunset. My jaw drops again. This time it’s because I’m yawning. Just kidding.

When the sunshine bursts through the trees…I’m singing all inside.

When the valley, lush and greeen, is sandwiched between two mighty mountains, with a river winding through…I just want to stay there forever. I LOVE mountains! And we don’t have any where I live.

But I like the cool things, too. (Pretty specific, huh?) You’ll see some of those.

Okay, you’ve helped me make up my mind.

I’ll post the pics. The good ones.

Meanwhile, the packing…

Until then,
a very busy M.E.
