Awwww, I came across this beautiful photo a little while ago in my photo files. It's COLD here today and I am imagining sitting on the beach watching those waves roll in. But, NOT in June/July/August. But early Spring or late Fall when it's perfect "beach sitting" weather. OK., let's just say , (and sing to the words from "The Sound of Music"--specifically-- "A few of my favorite things...!") the BEACH is one of my favorite things. ONE DAY, I want to live on it. Yeah. I just wrote that, family!!!! LOL!!! I would love for Big T and I to pack up our belongings and just move there. And don't think we haven't tossed that idea around . A lot. We both love it. I can see me now, hobbling out with a walker to the water's edge. Tripped over a sea gull feather and breaking my hip!! Oh well, I'd rather fall on the beach than a nursing home! HAHA! (no pun intended, Mimi)! Seriously, I think I could dig living at the beach....Yes, I love the beach. I love the smells. I love the sounds. I love the way , when you stand in the mushy wet sand at the water's edge , how your feet suddenly disappear in it. all the way up to your ankles. and then, when you try to move, you're stuck. Like in quick sand. To be honest, I've never been in quicksand but I guess that's what it feels like. Anyway, I love standing there doing that. And getting a stick and writing my name. In a heart with JF/TF in it. Kinda cute. Since Big T and I MET on the beach!!!! Yes, In Panama City Beach, Fla! (makes sense why we both love it).....I just bet Jesus loved the water, too. He spent lots of time on it/around it.( well, the Sea of Galilee ,which is really a big lake. you're impressed, right? How does my dumb brain remember that?! Because we have BEEN there, haha! )!. Yes, I can see Him now. Walking on the shore--maybe wishing all those ten gazillion people would give Him a minute to walk and pray. And He did have to do that. walk away. Sometimes.....Well, sometimes I have to "walk away" also. walk away from other people's childish behaviors. Or "walk away" from depressing news. Or "walk away" from something that pains my heart. Or "walk away" from things that I can never change ....BUT, I can also walk TOWARDS my Savior. And I have to do that sooo many times a day!
Well, that's my thought for the day. "getting away from it all". But better yet, going towards the LIGHT.... Since Jesus walke, maybe I can , too. If only by looking at the picture above. Excuse me, now, while I jump into the picture. And get away from it all! wink wink
