The Ocean's Gift

The madness never stops.  It seems like we just run, run, run all the time.  But wait, no, that's not exactly true.  Today, Jeff and I took a few minutes to walk out to the ocean.  And as I stood there, the blessedly cool wind blowing my hair straight back from my face, I closed my eyes and was at peace.  I felt a light spray of the salty ocean on my skin... it was a gift.  It was a short respite, but it renewed me, and I thanked God for it.  The ocean is one of God's greatest gifts to us; I was blessed by it and found Him there today in it's magnificent, calming presence.
