Journal:
One of our favorite houses to rent at the beach sits right on the ocean. It has the cutest little cottage-like garden with a path that leads to the beach. the lower deck has adirondack chairs that overlook the little garden and the ocean just beyond it. The photo of the flower was taken on my way back from the beach just after sunrise one morning. I love getting out to the beach early to watch the sun coming up on a new day ... and it is an added bonus if the sunrise turns out to be exceptionally pretty. It is so quiet and peaceful ... and I am often one of the only souls taking advantage of the beach at that time of day. We are each different in regards to what refreshes and inspires us. God gifted each of us creatively, and I believe that creative part of us is a small reflection of Him - the ultimate Creator. He always paints a lovely picture ... and when I watch the sunrise - I feel like I have a front row seat as He paints something glorious.
