This time next week...10:00A.M., I'll be sitting by the water in PCB. I look forward to several events each year, but our family vacation always rivals Christmas for me in terms of anticipation and excitement. Around January each year, we begin to talk about it and plan it. As the months stretch out and the weeks count down....I am like a child in a candy store. First of all, I love being with my family. Secondly, since I was a small child and my parents first took me to the beach, the saltwater, the sand, the salt air, the sound of the surf....does something magical in my spirit. It comforts me and it rests me! It rejuvenates me!
While I loved the mountains when we lived in Virginia and to see the color changes in the fall each year, the snow in the winter....there is nothing quite like a nice ocean breeze blowing in a thunderstorm across the gulf and watching God, in all His glory, manifest Himself in so many different, visual ways. Just think....He only lets the ocean come just so far. He tells the moon where to hide until the evening time. He draws pictures in the sky by using His clouds. He knows me just like He knows the number of the grains of sand on the beach I'll walk on next week. He is so amazing and to think...He knows me! A sinner saved by grace!
My friend, Bubba, will have quadruple bypass surgery in the morning. He has other medical issues that puts him at a much greater risk than the average person, so please pray for God's divine intervention that He will heal the physical heart in the man that has a spiritual heart devoted to serving His Lord and Saviour for the vast majority of his entire life.
