The Beauty of the Beach

I love the beach, the sound of the waves, the smell of the beautiful briny sea, the breeze. It relaxes me, clears my head. But it also reminds me how small I am in the whole scheme of things. To look out at the vast horizon makes me feel so minute. God's creation was made for us to enjoy and to take care of. It was also made to display His glory. "Even the rocks will cry out". All creation sings His majesty.

What a treat!! My mom, sister and I hopped on a plane April 22 to Charlotte North Carolina.

Beautiful Birkdale Mall. Visited my sister's longtime friend Lisa Larrabee.
She's home schooling her youngest with the
