Wistful thoughts of the Sea

“The Sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach–waiting for a gift from the Sea” Anne Morrow Lindbergh

As it rains here (snow and ices for others) my thoughts turn to sunnier days–to warm walks in the surf, searching for small treasures washed up from the Sea. Always mindful of the gifts my heavenly Father wishes to give to me, if only I will open my arms, my heart, my mind—“…the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
