I am reminded :: at the beach

I am reminded how small I can feel:: when I go to paint and everything around me seems so beautiful that I just can’t do it justice…so just try new techniques.

I am reminded when I see  darkness at the beach::   it will  often be won over  by light reflected off a sea never ending….and there is a lot to be learned in that alone.

I am reminded that sometimes the best person to talk to after you have been tossed around by unexpected waves :: Is someone who has most recently gone through it AND has gone back unafraid.  Someone who doesn’t let it stop them…who brushed themselves off and kept going.

I am reminded how beautiful adoption is :: when I watch my children touched by the Son, reflect differently but walk in unity. And how we have all been adopted by a King.

I am reminded kids are always happy about sunglasses:: even when they wash up on shore…guh.

I am reminded that I was raised in a completely different world :: when I remember how I made sand castles and my kids carve out sand offices.

But mostly I am reminded to Lectio Divina again and again... and I am so blessed by this meditiation. Today I am just being reminded over and over that it isn’t that I will eventually be gifted with abundance and rich legacy…. but that in this moment I am gifted in these things. Don’t argue with Him about it… He said it…and either you believe the things He says to you…or you think Him a liar…(yep, that made it easier didn’t it?)…so today just sit with this…roll it over and over in your mind like a piece of sea glass…

My home is surrounded in beauty;
You have gifted me with abundance and a rich legacy.
