Beauty
We had the most encouraging service last night. It was really different, Bro. Owen had us all participate. We all shared the scriptures that were an inspiration to us. It was so up-lifting.
I don't know how many times I've said to Kez, back in TN, after church was over..."Hey, wanna go to the ocean?" It would bring a lump to my throat... Last night, we did just that. After church Kez, Kenzie, Spence, and I rode to the ocean. We showed the girls the little bitty hospital that their Mommy(and all her siblings) were born in. We touched the wall (we are a strange family, but you all knew that). When you come down from the overpass there is a wall, when my children were little, they would make us stop and touch the wall and say "Hi, wall how are you today?" You see when they were little our town was quite small. When the overpass was built... well, that was a big thing. And that's how the wall became part of our small world.
And then we went to the ocean...
Have you ever walked at night on the beach? WOW, nothing beats the ocean when the wind is kicking and you can feel a storm moving in. No moon, just the reflection of the white caps cresting, the roar of the waves, the relentless blowing wind and the iridescent soft, yet very thick white sand (that massages your feet as you walk).
The beach was pretty much deserted. We walked to the Lifeguard stand and the girls climbed on top. Then Kez and Spence ran to the waters edge and got their feet wet. As me and Kenzie walked away she said, "This is the best night, it is so Beautiful." My feelings exactly.
