Pick a boat, sail away
Smiling faces, breezy day
Nothing planned and nothing said
Feeling the freedom of the waves

Pick a Boat…

One Small Boat
I could look at this small boat and feel that they are alone and adrift in an unkind sea. But there is another way to look at it; maybe the occupants of this boat are alive, energized, inspired by the beauty of the ocean, the battering of the wind. They are doing, they are alive, they are sailing. Though they are the lone ship for miles, they can forge a path through the waves.
With the passing of Nelson Mandela, I am inspired to remember that one person can make a difference. That each person does make a difference. That all of us affect each other’s lives more than we ever realize. That we’re not a helpless little boat at sea; we’re alive, energized, inspired. And with God watching over us, we’re never alone. Blessings, Lisa
Becoming More Beautiful
This is a sharp coral rock in Barbados, hurtful to touch, relatively untouched by the water.
This rock, on the same shore, has been smoothed and rounded by the constant force of the water across it at high tide. It is softer, able to be stood upon by tender bare feet, an accommodating shelter of sorts.
Water is a relentless and powerful force that shapes, changes, and affects by its very presence. Life gives us all lots of “water”…forces that change us. We may not like the changes, we resist, but eventually, we realize….we’re stronger, we’re smoother, we’re more of a refuge for other people to seek, we’re more beautiful. And I’m so thankful that God loves me enough to let me be more beautiful, more like Him. Be blessed today, Lisa

Colours of the Caribbean Sea
To ease the transition from our weekend to our Monday, I think some lovely Caribbean waters pictures are in order. 🙂 Check out all the differences in the colours. God is amazing and so artistic. Be blessed today, Lisa

The Beautiful Sea
The sea hath no king but God alone.
~Dante Gabriel Rossetti
My soul is full of longing for the secrets of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.
~Robert Henri
