Recently, we took time to refresh our bodies and souls--we took a little retreat to the beach area. Our family had been sailing through life--no cares, no worries--oh, there are the little hiccups that we all exprience, but when our precious great grandson was born with his birth defect--we all felt somehow disconnected. Granddaughter and hubby spent every spare minute in NICU with little JD; family members rallied by their side. Then an unexpected text came from the brown headed daughter--
"I'm in ER with shortness of breathe and a-fib! Don't worry, I'm doing fine!" Not so fine for us, she lives in Colorado! She is doing fine now, after tests, meds, week stay in hospital--of course, she is doing fine--we had the line of prayers going for her!
Aside here--do you get unlimited prayers? Or is it like my mother said--"don't pray too much--you'll use up your prayer supply!" Oh Mother! How wrong can you be! This is another topic to discuss at a later date.
Our great grandson is doing better; brown headed daughter is doing better--I'm just waiting for the third thing to drop--saying is 'it comes in threes!" Anyway, our elastic band of stress had been stretched to it's max and we needed a breather, a retreat to refresh.
The beach is..................................................................awesome!!
Here is what we saw in one section of the beach: Yarn bombing! How exciting to see works of art on the beach--
The Bollards were decked out in the finest of wear!
Fanciful creatures
whimsical animals
sea monsters
girlish characters
plain and colorful
Stunning beauty
Happy faces
and super people
and the lone cacti on the desert sand!
If you can make a plain lonely bollard look happy and adventurous. then any stump could be made joyful with some yarn and imaginations!
On your next trip to retreat and refresh, look for the awesome feature that are man made and the
wonders of God's creations--you can find these features in the most unusual places.
