"S" is for Sand!

I love the ocean so much!  We were so blessed to be in a house right on the beach.  Every morning we awoke we could open our eyes and see the ocean right there.  We didn't have to crane our necks around anything it was just there in all its glory for us to enjoy.  We could sit on the deck (bundled up) and savor some wine, enjoy one another's company and view.   And, you guessed it we could walk right to it and feel the sand squish in between our toes, so divine!

For me, the ocean is a constant reminder that My Redeemer is Faithful and True.  During the ebb and flow of life, He is there: always, constant, faithful.


He's kind of watching me like this . . . . not from a distance as Bette Middler once sang,  but right up close and personal and ALWAYS on guard!


Life is has been called A Great Balancing Act (but He is there to catch us WHEN we fall, for we will)



Sometimes I put my life and self under a magnifying glass and scrutinize EVERYTHING!




And then I feel like this . . . completely submerged, unable to breath and unable to come up from air . . . just praying for the tide to go OUT!

 (that water is frigid cold, by the way!)




And, then, when it does I feel as if I am in a barren wasteland 

(still frigid water there folks . . . red feet!)




BUT, when I step BACK . . . . 






I see THIS!




A beautiful gift from my savior!



Constant and divine like the ebb and flow of the ocean!




Enjoy today!
