Tiny

~ Lisa Brittain

Pondering the one-word tiny today and it takes me less than a second for a connecting thought. Her name is Rebecca, and she’s two weeks old today.

We received a picture yesterday from our daughter-in-love that caused me to oooh and aaah and whisper with fascination, “She’s so tiny!”

To describe the picture – our son was holding his precious baby daughter nestled securely on his chest with his one hand practically covering her entire being.

We are anxiously awaiting our soon to come visit with our granddaughter. At this point, we have FaceTime, pictures and short video clips which ignite our imaginations with anticipation for snuggling Rebecca close to our hearts. We can hardly wait to find her in person, hold her and smell her baby breath!

She’s (currently) the tiniest member of our family. And she’s precious. Valuable. Of inestimable worth.

““Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭8‬-‭10‬

And tiny baby girl secured safely on her daddy’s chest reminds me that Jesus cares for the tiniest things and people.

Oh sweet girl, you are so loved. Valued. Cared for. You are secure and protected. You have great worth to the one who created you.

You are heard and seen.

You are known.

Eyes on Jesus and Shine,

I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions. I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community. My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups. I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith... Bold feet, humble heart Psalm 131 ~ Lisa

  1. Congratulations! We are also eagerly awaiting the next visit with the smallest member of our family, our granddaughter who is six months old now. A precious reminder of God’s love for us and our dependence on him.
