So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’…your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Matthew 6:31-32
Danny and I have gone to the beach each summer for 48 years in a row. We love the beach, as do our children, and now our grandchildren. As I have shared with you previously, one of the things I enjoy the most is walking the beach early in the morning, and watching the sunrise over the ocean. 
I love the sounds of the waves crashing and the sea gulls crying, the feel of the breeze in my face, the smell of the salt air.
