Early Morning Sunrise Walks

While on our trip to the beach Barry had many early morning fishing trips with his brother Ben.  I, on the other hand got up early to enjoy a few morning sunrise walks on the beach.  This is one of my favorite things to do while at the beach.  I pursuaded Connor (not hard to do, really) to come with me one morning.  I even let me ask someone take a photo of us, but alas, the batteries finally died, thus no photo. 
I love the peace these strolls bring, and my opportunity to just ponder on the greatness of our Savior and the love our Heavenly Father has for us.  What small creatures we really are, when compared to this great vast ocean....and all these many people that cover the lands.  Yet, he still hears my many prayers, of all the small (but not to me), problems of my life.  He gives me answers through thoughts, ideas and hymns to my various pleas of help.  He lifts me up, as this sun seems to do over this pier, over the discouragements in my life.  I feel his love and warmth and joy and peace.

A few late morning risers!
