...i believe that God created us to be simple creatures. He created the garden of eden for adam and eve to enjoy~and now most of us only dream of a life that simple. i was thinking a lot about this as my family spent the last 4 days at my father-in-law's beach house in oceanside. i pondered as my children listen to the loud crash of the ocean waves, feel the sand fall through their tiny fingers, search for life under the sand (crabs), explore the vast ocean on grandpa's boat and be filled with laughter as the pelicans fight over the fish on the end of their line! these relaxing, slow paced vacations are the best memories that i have from my childhood (cheryl, although i'm sure i had fun playing with them, i don't remember the toys i had growing up!). one memory that stands out is our family trip to michigan~all i remember doing there is being able to run free in the green grass and pick fresh red raspberries off the bushes in my aunt's backyard. i want my children to have these kind of fond memories! i feel that our Father wants us to play more, explore regularly, nap daily and truly experience this wonderful kingdom on earth He gave to us~it is ours, we just have to reach out and pick some berries!
a blogger warning: we should all be cautious not to judge a person by the written word in their blog as words can be misunderstood by the reader--get to know the person, their heart, their passions, etc. for example: tommy~ my husband might have a TP record in his past but he would NEVER make crank phone calls!
