Walking on the beach today

You may not realize it, but God has a sense of humor.  And he usually shows it when I least expect it.

So, I got the SO (that significant other for those of you NOT in the know) up early today (around 0730) to go walk on the beach.  We have been house-bound for what feels like months, but in reality, only a few days because the SO has been sick (and if I may say it --- really whiney).  But I digress....  So we head out early to get in the required exercise and some fresh air - and to find some one of a kind shells (which by the way, we did NOT find...). 

We headed toward the Jetty on the beach.  There was a small area of the beach that we thought we could skirt the water edge and still make it to the Jetty -- but the afore mentioned sense of humor kicked in and got us.  As we watched, the surf was not coming up to the rocks - so let's make a break for it and try to get around the rocks before the surf comes back up.  *Did I say that I was not in my usual sandles and shorts, but in sneakers and wind pants?*  Just as we made it to the middle of the rocks,  *you guessed it*  the surf came in --- up to our knees!  RATS!  Now I am squishing as I walk, but why go back - I'm already wet.  So we continue to the end of the Jetty and finish the walk.

The wind was wonderful.  The sun was bright.  My feet were soaked -- but it was not enough to squelch my sense that all was right with the world.  My love at my side and obvious signs of God and his love around me.

What more can I ask for?    ....... except dry feet.
