The Sandy Path

940

Soft, sandy paths feel good on bare feet, but they are hard to walk on.  The sand gives way underfoot, causing all the other muscles to work harder to gain momentum.  (good workout though!)  Hard packed sand, however, is great to walk on.  Rocky paths are difficult, because you need to watch your step carefully so there are no turned ankles on the way.

No matter which type of path you’re walking today, the end of the path is worth it.  There are oceans to be seen, seagulls flying overhead, and mountain vistas abounding.  Walk the path, and hold tightly to the hand of God, who will give you the strength you need for the path you’re traveling.  Slainte, Lisa

Sea Oats

Although delicate, they protect.  Although bendable, they withstand.  Sea oats on a dune…protecting the vulnerable sand dunes and withstanding steady ocean winds.  Those thin reeds might sometimes wonder if they’ll have what it takes.  But in the morning after a fierce nor’easter, they stand, they go on another day.  I pray that God gives me the strength to do the same.  “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”  ~Isaiah 40:31   Have a blessed day, Lisa
