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 a curious follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received miraculous healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I received a challenge to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by my fearful living choices. It was my two sons, who loved me enough to confront me with the truth. They called out the hypocrisy of fear, and I am forever thankful. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. Years ago, with my eyes open to my sin of unbelief I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. God has been faithful to teach me, grow me up, and help me to let go of all the things that used to mean security to me. 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 in love with Jesus through His word; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 36 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have helped to grow two young men, who are now married with their own families. God is continuing to help them write their own faith stories. Additionally, we share our home with an old rescue pup. I look forward to having you join me here to fix our eyes on Jesus and shine with His radiance, Lisa Psalm 34:5

  2. 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.
