Pam brought a jar of buttons to writing group. She poured the buttons out on the table. We could pick any button to write about for 10 minutes. For the next few days, I'll share our button stories.
The turquoise water swells and spills its way to the shore
in crystal clear waves edged with lacey white foam. Such tremendous power ebbs
and flows, and yet, bathes me in peace.
I love the softness of the white sand beneath my feet and the comforting
warmth of the sun on my shoulders. A gentle breeze cools my face and plays with
the fine tendrils of hair that have escaped my pony tail, tickling my neck.
White puffy clouds in the distance hold no threat. Even rain
showers are pleasant—here one moment and gone the next, lasting only long
enough to quench thirsty flowers.
I breathe in serenity with the sea-scented air. Tilting my
face upward, I whisper my heartfelt thanks to Jesus.
Amen, very beautiful.
