Soaking it up--and saying our goodbyes


My family and I spent all day today soaking up the sun--and the beach atmosphere! It was a lovely day, and we are blessed in that we can drive less than 2 hrs and be on the beach.

My entire family loves the beach, and so this was a day we were eagerly anticipating.

Thus we spent the day soaking up and enjoying God's marvelous creation, but also saying goodbye to the summer and the carefree days.


I was also reminded today as I was sitting there reflecting on the beach, that it's because this is only for a season that we appreciate it so much!

We know that our schedule will become more rigid and restrict us from having the free-time to go as often. We also know that cold winter days lurk in the not so distant future, and so we should appreciate the blessings we have-while we have them!


I sure appreciated this one, it was a lovely day!
