I woke up to see the sunrise this morning. The sky is filled with clouds, but there is just enough blue sky to see the sun peeking through. As I sat watching, I couldn't help but think of the comforting phrase, "every cloud has a silver lining."
I feel that's true in any situation. And, if we trust God's plan, we will know that no matter what, God is going to protect us and show us the silver lining in His time.
Yesterday, God protected us and blessed us several times. It was supposed to rain and storm all day. Instead, we had great weather and were able to enjoy the beach all day without out the sun beating down on us but warm enough to enjoy the beach. We spent a lot of time walking up and down the beach exploring. We saw jellyfish washed up on shore, which fascinated me, shells and sanddollars, which I gathered many of, and of course, dolphins!
My sister-in-law has been on crutches the whole time due to an injury. Yesterday, she wasffinally able to put weight on her foot and walk along the beach with us. I was grateful that she was able to truly enjoy the beach since she loves the beach more than anyone I know. She could have been resentful or angry that she was injured. But, instead, she did what she could and enjoyed being here. God protected her and blessed her with a chance to walk free from crutches.
As we walked along the beach, we noticed an area with birds everywhere around the water, diving in the water to find fish. My husband went decided to go in the water and see what they were catching. All of the sudden, he was out of the water. He had been about 5 feet off the shore and he looked down and saw a shark swim by him, only a foot away! I am grateful that God protected him from getting hurt!
Last night, I was not feeling well after dinner, more tired than anything else, but just kind of off. Around 10 I went to bed and felt the auras that meant a migraine was on its way. Then it madesense. Before i get a migraine, my brain usually doesn't work right. It was my first time trying my new medicine so I had no idea if it would work or what the side effects would be. This morning, I feel a little of the migraine, but am definitely ready to enjoy the day. I was up to see the sunrise and am excited about enjoying every moment of our last day here. So, I am off for a walk along the beach with my husband.
So where was God yesterday? He was protecting us.
Blessings,
Jennifer
