It had been storming all morning.  Torrential rain, wind, thunder and lighting thrashed the island. And then, as so often happens, the clouds suddenly blew away.  My husband and I decided to take advantage of the break in the weather …

We were not alone.

 Tybee Island, Georgia

“Declutter your mind of plans, schedules, and “to do” lists.  Instead, look out upon the waves, wiggle your toes in the sand, absorb the sights, smells and sounds, and enjoy the moment for what it is – not what it means, not what lies ahead, not how you arrived here.  There will be another time for that.  For now, just be present with Him”

(Excerpt from Devotions for the Beach, by Miriam Drennan)

Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still!”

And the winds ceased and there was great calm.

Mark 4:39
