Lord…
Thank You for making the Gulf of Mexico. Thank You for thinking of sea gulls that fly so close to the loud waves, making the beach such a reckless place. Thanks for the breeze that makes the shore just the right amount of cool. Thank You for waves that look so powerful to these four-year-olds, but that crash perfectly so they don’t (always) get knocked over.
Thanks for shells and sea critters and even seaweed. Thanks for putting our family so close to all of this. Thanks for Saturdays. Thanks for freedom. Thanks for Jesus.
Amen.
