Now that is what stopping and smelling the “roses” or beach is all about. soaking in the ones we love and falling in love just a little more each time. Being thankful that you found someone that loves you flaws and all just as you love him flaws and all.

Wonderful post. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Lori, Kriste and Brandy! I too agree that there is so much comfort in the formality of church and being with fellow believers. I miss it when we do not go and I know our church misses us. I think they are worried because we have not been going. I plan on trying a new church that is right near where we surf. It would be great to attend, then head to the beach for some one on one worship as well!

What a wonderful post. I agree wholeheartedly! While I am a regular church goer, and I find tremendous support in meeting with like-minded people and partaking the emblems of His death on a regular basis, I agree that profound spiritual moments can happen when we are out in nature, too! I loved reading this post and felt like I was with you, having wonderful experiences in the ocean. You have such a way with words. My mom has always said that canoeing on a peaceful lake is her “church”.

I think the key is to find the peace, and the quiet and then to make oneself humble enough to be in tune with the Spirit. You’ve hit the nail on the head here!

I love this very thoughtful post! I find a certain peace and comfort in the formality and ritual of church services, but there is nothing like being out in the world, alone with nature to really find peace. And God. Always. For me, since I am not near the ocean, it is in the woods, on a mountain top – anywhere, really, where I can get away from other voices, opinions, judgements. I’m always amazed at what He has to show me if I just take the time to look. And I do treasure the times when I make it to the ocean – wish I could get there more often!
Great post – thanks!

That was breathtakingly, awesomely beautiful. That made me weep. I am confused on one part though.. is he having pain or symptoms of something else? Or were you referring only to the pain of the past? It seemed like you were also talking about the present. Is he all right?
