Hello friends,
I hope you had a happy Christmas celebration and are feeling the peace of God today!
After the busyness of Christmas, it's good to wind down and take time to breathe a little slower now.
This week finds my hubby and I enjoying a lovely mini-holiday by the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Slowing down in the sun and cool breezes..
taking in the beauty of stunning tropical flowers..
and fabulous lakeside views..
and watching the rolling waves caress white sands along the shore.
And the best part of all -
Staying with my wonderful sister and her husband who live surrounded by all this gorgeous scenery!
Precious family.. and God's awesome creation.
I know - I know!!
I am a very blessed lady :-)
I hope you know the blessing of the joy, peace and love of these gifts in your lives too!
As I'm away from home this week and have limited internet..I will be visiting everyone later in the week when I return.
love in Jesus..Trish

ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours, Trish! Looks like a lovely vacation you're having - and in such a warm climate. Very cold here - and what a wind and rain storm last night! But, Christmas was very warm in the presence of the Lord and precious loved ones. I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend, too - and may your new year ring in brightly!
ReplyDeleteJoy!
