About this time of the year I long for sunshine and warmth...
But it is the sound of the ocean that I find so alluring.
It may be such a strong draw because we live so far from the ocean air and winds.
Because we;
Because we;
Made our home and life on the flat lands of the prairies.
It is a funny thing when you think about how God places
It is no surprise to the Lord that we live miles away from an ocean!
As a matter of fact, we live smack dab between the Pacific and the Atlantic.
But I find that even in the middle I feel a draw to the water!
Not really the sunbathing or water sports,
But rather the tide that comes in and returns to the sea.
Over and over again...
The sea can be very calming and soothing to our souls;
But there are times the water becomes wild and out of control.
It is the wind that brings the turbulence!
The sea can be smooth as glass;
And that is my point!
Life is like the sea...
When the winds of adversity strike it can cause damage.
But if we can set our face and sails into the wind.
We can build momentum and speed ahead in the direction,
That is the right course that the Lord has mapped out for you!
Why do we act shocked when things do not go
Do we not trust God with all the details in our lives?
The ocean and life have an ebb and flow...
How I long for a breath of fresh air!
Sometimes this air smells of wood smoke from the chimney above.
Sometimes the air is filled with the smell of coffee and bacon frying,
In our early morning campsite in the summer time.
Sometimes it is the aroma of the Russian Olive trees in bloom!
Oh the smell of the rain that causes us to breath deeply!
I write this to encourage those that have had the wind knocked out of them.
Do not give up, the wind will surely once again come around
And help propel you to the new thing that is coming your way!
Comfort one another...
