Sunrise

 Reese, my early riser, woke me up to see this today.  Wow! There is something about God's majesty in a sunrise over the ocean.  I have always loved the sea.  I love to ride the waves and  love to run or walk on the sand.  I love to read with my feet in the water lounging in a sand chair.  I love to feel the breeze on my face and sand on my skin.  Our family vacations were almost always at the beach and they are my most precious memories.  There is something about the relaxed, easy lifestyle of beach living.  I have gone to the same place for vacation for the past 18 years.  It is like a second home to my family. I share the love of this place with my Gran, my parents, my brother, his family, and my own.  We talk about the places we love, the restaurants we miss throughout the year, and how much we still love it after all these years.   Eventually I would love to spend all summer at the beach.  One day . . . .

Reese and I sat on our balcony and soaked in this glorious sight---just the two of us.  I don't ever want to be too busy to be stunned by God.  The kids and I are relaxing this week with my parents. We have no agenda.  I personally am going to let God reboot my attitude and refresh my soul.   Then, very soon, I will share another sunrise in the same spot with the man who sacrifices and works so hard so that I can be here twice.   Love him . . . . . .
