Encouraging words of wisdom

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love.”

—Bible (I Corinthians 13:4-7, 13)

Taking the time out to enjoy the view.

I wanted to tell you about my magical night because I never want to forget it.  I was down by the bay in Fairhope, Alabama; right down from the Pier.  The second day in January of 2012 and the stars were twinkling in the night sky, the wind was blowing so passionately.  I walked up to the wharf and heard the water running onto the shore and the gushing sound it made when it rescinded.  I sat down and was consumed by everything that was happening around me; the wind was blowing vigorously on my face and I was wrapped tightly in my blanket.  I was in awe as the water danced around and roared as I dreamed of surfing (I've never surfed).  I just thought how magical.  How perfect!  I didn't want to leave.  It's so amazing to me that the most precious things are free and we don't stop to enjoy them as the gifts they truly are.

Life is what you make it
