This week...
we took the dogs to a little, out of the way, beach
no one goes there except a few fishermen on a rare occasion
we park the car and walk the dogs down to it...
making our way down a hill and through the woods
no wonder it's out of the way
we took the dogs to a little, out of the way, beach
no one goes there except a few fishermen on a rare occasion
we park the car and walk the dogs down to it...
making our way down a hill and through the woods
no wonder it's out of the way
we had discovered it a few years ago when living in this area at our beach cottage
the dogs love this beach and can't wait to run down the hill ahead of us and splash into the sea
and they will sit there and wait for us to make our way down...
knowing there is a game of fetch to come
go get it! Shadow
fun for the dogs to go get...
and fun to watch them go get
okay, Foxie girl, you're turn coming up
you can see the anticipation in their positions...
waiting for that stick
go for it, Foxie
bigger than you are, girl...
but, you're bringing that log back...
yeah, I know...
no matter how heavy
what? is that the end?
uh oh...Foxie lost her collar...
somewhere in the sea
where, oh where...
could that collar be?
oh well...
so much for collars...
how about a sand bath, instead
no, let's play
that's even more fun than going back into the sea and looking for that collar
the collar eventually found under the sea and retrieved...
husband takes a scenic break
he found this...
and I took the photo of this...
the empty shell of a sand crab...
basking uselessly in the sun
across the way and to a small peninsula...
sits a lonely seaside building
it's been there a long time...
for some reason never getting finished
just a shell of a home that never was
I can't help but wonder who and why
an occasional sailboat off in the distance...
going somewhere
and there are the ever present sea creatures of various kinds
this one below I have no idea of...
a jelly-like water balloon...
usually found among the seaweed...
that bursts salty water when popped
and there is another empty shell...
this one of some kind of creature...
maybe a lobster or shrimp type
and in the water there among the seaweeds...
my husband brought up so I could see it at close range...
and take photos of a lovely starfish
it's alive and beautiful in a coral color
how can anyone say there is no God?
The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no God.
Corrupt are they,
and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good - Psalm 53:1
and...
Professing themselves to be wise,
they became fools... - Romans 1:23
There is no fear of God before their eyes - Romans 3:18
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness - 1 Corinthians 3:19
when I see the intricacies of the Lord's creation...
how innumerable the varieties of creatures and designs...
it is truly a wonder of His power and endless abilities
O Lord, how manifold are Thy works!
in wisdom hast Thou made them all:
the earth is full of Thy riches - Psalm 104:24
after the photos...
I placed the starfish back into the sea...
to glimmer and shimmer, where it does so best
after all...it is a sea creature made by the wisdom of God...
to glorify and praise the Lord; in it's place, during it's season
God has made a place and a time...
a season...
for everything
May the Lord shine His grace on you.
