The Beach

I went to the beach the other day with my best friend and her boys, we had a blast! I flew a kite, which I hadn't done in quite some time. It was so much fun, even if there wasn't a lot of wind and it didn't stay up in the air that long. I felt like a kid again!! We found two star fish and many shells and rocks. The water was so cold it made my feet ache, but felt refreshing at the same time.
The beach is a place that I've gone to during many wonderful, special times, and some of the most heart-wrenching times. Each time I am there I learn something new and this time is no different. As I looked out over the ocean and at the birds and starfish I was in awe of just how amazing God's creation really is.
I also realized how special friendships are and how great it is to have friends who stick by you through tough times and celebrate the good times!!
