It is Thanksgiving morning here in the U.S. Here in N.C. I'm so very thankful to be looking out at a calm ocean with the sun shining counting my blessings. I've been doing that all the time here. It's only through God that we were able to be here. We know that He is in charge and allowed us to be able to come here to Bald Head Island with a house on the beach. I never thought we'd be able to do this but we are. It's just one incredible gift from our Father. His gift of salvation is the most amazing gift of all. His mercies are new every morning. I found a picture on FB that shows another thing I'm grateful for.
To see this picture brings tears to my eyes. One that they'd pray all together like that and that in spite of their circumstances they are giving thanks. How selfish we are to complain about things in our lives when there are people who are suffering more like soldiers who fight for our freedom! Thank you God for opening my eyes to the important things in life. Please continue to remind me of those things when I complain.
I have some more pictures for you from our trip to Bald Head Island. Ben and Sarah are enjoying being in the water. This is as much as you can go into the water because it's about 30 degrees. Yesterday the waves were high.
It warmed up a bit and I was able to try out the hammock on our porch. It was relaxing to swing in this. I know I could have taken a nap had I had a blanket!
I am amazed at the pictures we get of the sun, sky and water.
There was so much wind with the rain in the morning that we got suds-like stuff on the beach.
Happy Thanksgiving and Blessings to you all as you celebrate today with Family and Friends. Take some time to meditate on things you are thankful for. Go deeper than just family, friends, food......there are so many things that we take for grated. What are you thankful for?
Blessings and thank you for stopping by.
