Food for Thought

“You can see God from anywhere if your mind isset to love and obey Him.”― A.W. Tozer

Like Sheep

Lord, I am so thankful that you seek the lost sheep. So many times you have rescued me from myself. Thank you for your loving care.

We walk along the water’s edge, watching the foam from the waves rush up, attempting to capture the sand, then fall back to join the blue ocean water. Our heads down, we look in the sand for shells or coral unbroken by the battering waves. I stoop to examine a piece of elkhorn coral brokenContinue reading “Footprints in the Sand”
