Sound of the waves


There is something about being at the beach and the glorous roar and sound of the waves that fills my heart with joy!  Maybe it is the power and might of the sea, the calming effect it has on my sould and wonder that fills my heart in the witness of its majestic splendor.  

Whatever it is, I wish I could bottle it and take it with me always!!  Just the thought of being by the water, walking in the sand, catching the early sounds of the day got me moving and out of the house.  

Guess I need to remember that the next time I want to hit the snooze button on the alarm, talk myself out of doing something that I know I need to do and that is good for my body, mind, spirit and soul.

Thankfully, it was pretty easy this vacation, yes there truly is someting about the sounds of the waves.

Christmas Eve

  Our Frist Christmas together in Texas - 1982 It's Christmas Eve morning and I am excited for whatever the day brings especially the coming of the birth of Jesus and the blessings and grace that await each new day.  This morning I’m also reflective with emotions and thoughts about my dad who died 23 years ago on Christmas Morning and my mom who died 27 years ago in November.

They always instilled in us a spirit of gratitude and unconditional love, and I am so grateful that never was there ever a time that I talked to my mom or dad that I did not tell them how much I loved them. I was by mom’s side when she drew her last breath and I saw the lov...

No matter what I can always find Joy in the Journey

This morning I did my prayers and readings in my prayer room and then went outside to enjoy some time in the backyard oasis while I shared my reflections on today's Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.  And today's reading always reminds me of one of my favorite books " Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hanna Hurnard. I believe that the journey to the mountaintop, the experiences along the way, the gorgeous views and the beauty that it seen on the climb enriches the experience not only along the way up and when I get to the top and take in the beauty of God's nature all around me.  It also fortifies me for the climb back down. While I would love to stay on the mountaintop, I know that I will have to make the trek back down.  And what a blessing to take it all with me on the way down and and beyond for whatever comes next I am back in the valley.
