A Day at the Beach

We spent a few hours at Newport beach while on our trip to California. There is something about the beach that draws me in and I feel like a calm person at the beach!  I look out at the horizon and ponder on the great expanse of the earth and know there is a God.  The beach is very calming to me, maybe it is the steady sound of waves hitting the shore, or the smell of salt water... I don't know, but I like it.  Our grandchildren loved the beach and had a fun time.  We had a nice picnic and enjoyed some sunshine.
