The kids and I joined a family we know for a day at the beach. We had loads of fun enjoying the ocean breezes, the waves, and the beautiful blue skies.
The water was fairly clear, so the kids had fun picking up shells that were being brought to shore by the waves. There were lots of interesting colors, shapes, and sizes, showing the wonderful creativity of the Lord.
Towards the end of our trip, some of the kids and I took a hike towards a cliffy section of the beach. We climbed over some rocks (a very tricky thing when you're barefoot) and got splashed by the pounding surf, but it was worth the effort for the treasure trove we found: a whole cache of even more beautiful shells, that included abalone, mussels, clams, scallops, oyster, and coral. If we hadn't taken the time to go a little further, we wouldn't have been blessed by such a find.
Sometimes we need to look a little deeper in life for the treasures that are hidden from us. We need to get out of our comfort zone and put some effort into finding what God has in store. You may be rewarded with blessings beyond your expectations.
