A beach stroll...

There is something special about a beach stroll.  Not just any beach, but a pristine, white sand beach showered with sunshine.  The hard packed sand can stretch out for miles before your feet, but it always beckons and you must answer the call.  Beach walks are relaxing, inspiring, and filled with pleasurable sights and sounds.
Always something interesting to see along an ocean stroll, don't you think?  The way the wind creates patterns in the dunes.  Or the glistening bubbles from a recent high tide.  Sometimes there are treasures of untouched shells or sea creatures spilled at your feet.
Birds on the beach are more reminders of God's creation.  Pelicans flying low level attack patterns as they adjust their bills to skim the water for a fresh bite to eat.  Seagulls guarding their favorite section of sand. 
A stroll on the beach puts things in perspective.  As tiny grains of sand create a lovely landscape, we realize that we are but a speck in a moment of time.  God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore. 1 Kings 4:29.
Enjoy every blessing. God is watching over all.  How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. Psalm 139:17-18.
