This beach day was so different from the first one. The sun was shining so brightly and there was a gorgeous breeze. When I got to the beach I noticed that it was low tide. I saw a gorgeous sandbar. I haven't seen one of those in ages. There were kids playing on it and three seagulls just walking around on it. As I walked along the water's edge, the surf welcomed me and kissed my feet over and over. I found myself thinking, "Well, hello to you, too! I've missed you so."
As I walked along, I hunted for seaside treasures as I always do. I had asked God for some sea glass before I even got there. I know that sounds a little silly to ask God to provide sea glass, but that's what I did. And, sea glass is what I found! The first one I found was in my favorite color, green! I walked a little further and found another green one...then another...then another. Every time I found a piece of sea glass I felt as though the Lord was saying, "I love you, Lisa". I was so overwhelmed to the point of tears as I walked and found bigger and bigger pieces. As I walked, I let my tears flow as I collected sweet treasures from Jesus, and as he collected my sweet tears. {Psalm 56:8}
As I continued down the beach, I wound up at the jetties. I stood there watching the waves crash upon the massive rocks. It was so awesome being that close to the rocks and waves.
After that, I decided that it was time to head back to reality. I made my way toward the boardwalk. I stopped at the cross before I left. I knelt down to soak in all that I was blessed with on this trip "home". I was overwhelmed. I sat and took some more pictures as I soaked in all the beauty that surrounded me. It was finally time for me to leave, so I collected my things and started to walk to the boardwalk. I got almost there and realized that I didn't have my cell phone. So, I carefully retraced my steps back to where I was sitting. I immediately saw my phone laying in the sand near where I took these these pictures. As I walked toward my phone, I glanced down to my left and found another gorgeous, big piece of sea glass. I held it in my hand and said, "Yes, Lord. I know You love me."
