When we got down to the beach this morning, here is what we saw:

And I was overwhelmed with the beauty and the majesty of God’s creation.  The rays of sunlight fanned out over the earth like the fingers of God reaching down to touch us.

The others had ridden off on their bikes, and I stood with my mom and my daughter, and it brought me to tears.  Tears of joy. Tears that alleviate fear. It was a beautiful moment with my mother.  And it was such a sweet time for the two of us--one I will never forget. I am thankful for this day the Lord has made... .

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24
