Taking You All to the Beach Today

If my heart could giggle with excitement, it would be doing that right now as I get bags ready for the beach.  We went down there a couple days ago and I realized I'd completely forgotten the sensation of warmth and playfulness that each cresting wave brings up to the sand.  The water was perfect and I couldn't stop smiling.  Stress melted away and a glorious hope filled my heart. 

So now we're off again and planning to spend as much time as possible on these Australian beaches during our travels.  We have sandwiches and fruit ready for eating at midday even though we really, simply, want to fill a few hours with memories and fun. 

What a blessing!  This time, this opportunity, our health, the beautiful weather, and the glorious countryside all seem to combine together and beckon us to fill our hearts with this precious gift from God. 

I think I'll take you all with me today.  I'll think of the mothers, the workers, the stressed, the grieving, the lost, the lonely, the hopeful, the courageous......all God's children, and I'll pray for God to send you warmth and happiness today.  So, keep an eye out for it.  God's blessings are around every corner.

And, arriving with each cresting wave.
