Beautiful Day

The kids and I headed to Falmouth yesterday to spend some time on the beach and get some ice cream.  We were  all so ready for summer. We packed our lunch and headed down, not really having a destination, but just being drawn to the beach after a tiring year of school. The beaches were empty because it was overcast all morning, but by noon it was perfect beach weather. It was low tide, so the  kids played in the shallow pools of water and found hermit crabs, snails, and a big starfish. I am content as a mother when I see my kids scouring the beach for natural treasures. There is something wholesome and innocent about the seaside. It makes me feel like it was good for their soul to be there. Ever notice that  kids never seem to argue or fight at the beach? 

 The warm sunshine, the soft sand and the lull of the noise of the waves turns my thoughts toward God and his greatness. He causes the tides to come in and out. He controls the winds and waves and sea. They all obey Him. It is all wonder and amazement.
