The Beckoning Whispers

   As I sit in the kitchen, the sound of the sea beckons me. From the beach house, the waters whisper, calling me to the beach.

“Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on him who has all things safely in his hands.” Help me to remember, Lord that You do, indeed, hold all things in your hands.
