tiny diamonds

The waves in the ocean were wonderful today.......one right after another, slapping you on the back and knocking you senseless. They made me belly-laugh out loud. What a cleansing for the soul!

Standing among them was like being in the midst of a million little specks of diamonds. If they could have been gathered together they would be worth a fortune.

Hurricane Hanna is kicking the waves up and they are putting on quite the show. She wouldn't let the tide go very far out at all today. As dusk was descending just now it was already pushing back up to the shore.

Who knows what she will do. Amanda and Mark are watching her very closely as they are leaving on Friday to spend a week's vacation here at Tybee.

As we who are believers know, it is God who controls the storms....their courses are set by Him.
We will watch and wait to see what He has planned.

A couple of things.....

One of the bruises on one of Bubba's knees was helped dramatically by the salt water. The rest of his injuries have turned black and blue and yellow. Some are still bleeding, but he adamantly refuses to seek medical attention. We have started tying on tourniquets made from hankerchiefs to curtail the bleeding.

Harry got a great report from the eye doctor today.

Harry needed a hug from grammy immediately after having gotten himself completely coated in sand. Of course I willingly obliged which gave me a perfect excuse to get back in the ocean.

Spanky's beachfront has delicious chicken fingers that completely satiated five hungry swimmers.

If I live to be ninety I want to be still swimming in the ocean.

My summer tan has been replenished.

Thank you so much God for all of Your bountiful blessings and for the tremendous trial that You are seeing me through. You are truly an Awesome God....Thank you.

Love to all who read.......Cathy
