the SHADOWLANDS

Shadows Can Be Larger Than Life

(Fortunately he wasn't aware of the monster following along side)

Dramatic lighting on our walk yesterday
as the sun was shining and creating beautiful light and shadow

On your journey of life
Don't let the shadows frighten you
-
They only appear larger than life
And the LIGHT magnifies them
but shadows wouldn't even be seen without the
~ I L L U M I N A T I O N ~

C.S.Lewis wrote of the shadowlands as what we experience here on earth.
Our real life is beyond the shadowlands
-

and heaven will be the reality as we look back upon
our former life of walking here in the shadows
-
-
How can we be assured that heaven will be our future home?
~ C.S. Lewis came to believe the Bible had the answers ~
-
I love the book of John in the new testament
-It illuminates the shadows in our lives
and opens doors into the light of mercy and grace


Tossing out a seed today that I hope will find itself planted in a heart
and grow into a beautiful plant of faith and hope
-

... because living in a land of shadows can be so dark until the light breaks forth ...

That is for sure. And may the seed you throw out today grow into a living testimony that shoots toward the sun, the Son that all who look at this tender shoot will believe.

Oh Dear Violet...this is so refreshing and soothing to read. And it's SO TRUE! Your dog is amazing...I visited a cousin in AL this past weekend and she has a long haired Dachsund called Maddie. She's like a mini version of your Afghan hound...I never realized how much they can look like an Afghan Hound. Praying you are doing well...

I couldn't sleep - so awoke and have been blog hopping to visit! :)

Hugs.....
