Sunny.
Bright green
ocean.
Sound of
waves.
Our toes are
finally back in the sand!
Fun morning
walk on the beach.
Because of
the busyness of life (and this crazy rainy weather), we had not been on the
beach in a while. As we walked, we began describing the shells we were
passing. We even stopped several
times to pick some up.
“Look at this
one.” “It’s so big.” “It’s beautiful.” “It’s cracked.” “It’s broken.” “It’s almost
perfect.” “It’s so different.”
Those were
only some of the many descriptions we exchanged on our beach walk a few days
ago. Our conversation shifted
quickly to how these observations made us thankful for the God we serve. The shells reminded us of ourselves. We
are broken people…yet God has chosen us. He’s made each and every one of us different…yet
He loves all of us. We are beautiful in His eyes, despite our brokenness.
God continues
to teach us on a daily basis. It’s challenging to slow down long enough to hear
Him speak to us through His daily teachings some days though. Isn’t it awesome
to be reminded that God “chose you out of the world?” (John 15:19) Or that we are “God’s special
possession?” (1 Peter 2:9) Or how “God
is love” (1 John 4:8)? How awesome is it that He makes “everything beautiful in
His time” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)?
We would love
to hear what God’s been teaching and reminding you of lately through His word,
His creation, and the people He places in your life. Thanks for letting us share another way He’s been working in
our lives with you. So blessed He
put you in our lives. We love you…each
and every one of you.
