We visit the ocean semi-frequently, because we love it & because we live close enough to go in the evening. The best: post-nap-time-dinner-on-the-beach-playtime-watching-the-sun-set. It may be my very favorite thing to do with toddlers (with the one blemish being a late bed time).
My boys try to carry water from the ocean & get too excited & spill it EVERY time. It's precious & hilarious. |
"we are his portion & He is our prize, drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes,
if His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking"
I am a Little.Fish. in an ocean of His grace. I love this image because of the magnitude - hugeness - deepness - abundance - overwhelming force. An.OCEAN.of.GRACE.
Grace: the free & unmerited FAVOR of God.
If HIS grace is an ocean, we're all sinking - I don't really like the idea of sinking. I lose control, I am at the mercy of whatever external force is acting upon me- I must rely on an outside force to act upon me to PULL ME OUT if I'm sinking. But, if His grace is an ocean, and I'm sinking in it, would I ever want to get pulled out?
"I can carry it Mom, I big&strong Mom, I'm big&strong!" |
Lord, thank you for an ocean of your grace. Your unmerited favor. Your free gift. The beauty of the ocean takes my breath away, but I feel so much peace in its presence. Thank you for reminding me.
