so many sunrises… so little time…

Just in case you were interested in what the past four sunrises looked like in our little town. Have a great weekend!

soul distancing

Soul distancing: the practice of separating your soul
from the day to day rush
the deadline driven exhaustion

the anxiety saturated social media
the identity robbing expense of living for someone's approval

the heart hardening fallout of unforgiveness
the countless heart deadening diversions

and instead

connecting to whatever it is that helps you to

a walk on the shore... a hike...
sitting in stillness... prayer...
coffee and a good book...

you may discover what you are really living for and decide to change course

you may discover what you really worship and decide to reach higher in the affections of your heart and mind

you may discover an ocean of tears that were held back by your hardness becasue you need to be right

or you won't let it go

or you refuse to forgive

or because you know you need to confess and make it right

you may discover

in the stillness

the voice of God

the shores of my story

the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me of family friends and love
gifts of Grace are all around
in every wave i hear the sound
of Your love and care

the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me of things undone
hurt and tears seem to abound
in every wave i hear the sound
of my lack of love dear God
forgive me

the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me of my dearest love
high school days then wedding day
home and kids
all gifts from above
in every breath i breathe
your love
so grateful
for your love

the songs are breaking on the shores
of my story
reminding me i soon must leave
so may i sing to my Father above
so may i sing to those i love
may He find me ready
to walk on the shore
of my new home
no more tears and endless Light
faith hope
and the greatest
Love

boardwalk business

It’s wonderful to see the Jones Beach boardwalk come to life as New York slowly exits out of pandemic social restrictions.

I really should stop in and eat here some time instead of just taking exterior photos! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoying the view at Jones Beach.

New York officially “opens” today, so, this water element at the beach will soon be filled with kids, and….. water! Thanks for stopping by!

The first of a few posts during my trip back to my home town in New York, which always means time spent enjoying walks at Jones Beach State Park in New York. Thanks for stopping by.
