we live on pandora

it's days like today that make it hard for me to understand how people don't believe in God. manifestations of His love are all around us; all we have to do is stop and take it in. i walked along the beach today, feet in the clear, blue water, sun on my skin, thanking my Heavenly Father for creating this unbelievable world that i am blessed to live in. the collaborating ecosystem and heirarchy of plant and animal life never cease to amaze me. that all life exists and works together to survive against an oftentimes harsh mother nature has to be by the hand of a higher power. alone with my thoughts, the ocean and scenery helped to recharge my spiritual batteries. and i'm so thankful.

this primary song kept running through my head as i walked in the sand. and since i was mostly alone on the beach, i sang it out loud as i strolled.

heavenly father, are you really there?
and do you hear and answer every childs prayer?
some say that heaven is far away.
but i feel it close around me as i pray.

prayers of gratitude. to borrow a statement from a good friend: LG. life's good.

What beach was that? You do not take enough pictures, but it was fun to see two blogs in one week. Miss you and hope we can come back before you leave. We need to shop for shoes a little more.
