ballet on the beach

We were walking on the beach when I saw a lady about my age dancing on the beach. She reminded me of a little girl dancing on her toes and twirling and stepping forward as she made her way down the beach.  She seem not not know or care that others were around and could see her dancing down the beach.  Abandon Joy.. I wanted to join her,  but did not want to interrupt her solo dance.

God does not want us to just survive, He wants us to live  life to the fullest with joy.

A little later I saw a lady looking down at something on the beach with a big grin on her face.  Looking down I saw what she was delighted by,,, a baby sea turtle, making its way to the ocean,  Working so hard against the tide with it's little tiny flippers.  We watched for a while and really wanted to help in it's struggle, but knew we should not mess with nature.  This little fellow needed this struggle,  to develop it's muscles to able to survive out there in it's big ole world called the ocean. 

Kind of reminded when we are going through struggles in life.  It does not mean that God can not easily make the struggle go away.  Sometimes we did to develop our spiritual muscles and mature for the next thing that we will have to face in this big ole world  called life.

Then there are the pelicans flying over head.  I can see how for generation man has looked up  and wanted to fly to soar with the birds who make it look so easy.  With their big wings they can flap a couple of times and then glide just over the water or go higher for a better view of their world called the sky.  

God wants us to soar like the birds.

I love nature and I love God.
