dreaming....

...of a cottage by the sea.

It would be white

with a porch that wraps all the way around.

There would be lots of windows,

all looking out toward the beach and the ocean.

The windows would always be open,

causing the balmy salt breezes 

to blow the white gauzy curtains inside the house....

 allowing the sound of the waves to be music in my ears.

It would have wooden steps

down to the sand

on which I would walk both morning and night.

Only steps to the water,

in which I will swim and float to my heart's content.

The only transportation I would need 

is a boat,

one that I could paddle down to the market

to buy provisions for life,

and to anchor for a while out on the water

 to catch fresh fish and crab.

Every morning I will sit and read God's word

looking out over His mighty, vast ocean.

Every evening I will write good things that people love to read

while watching the sun set and the moon rise.

What a very beautiful dream this is!
