The Angels at the Beach

Today was my Daughters 12th Birthday . I love her so much and wanted it, like all the others, to be extra special. The part of me that tends to focus on the cares of this world usually becomes disscouraged, knowing that economically very little is possible. What we did do was pack her and all of her friends into 3 cars and went to the beach. It immediately lifted my spirits. Somehow looking at the vastness of the ocean has a way of putting all things into perspective for me. So 11 girls and my wife and I played like carefree children in the glory of God's creation. On the way back towards the beach we spotted something swimming in the water before us. It wasn't just one something but hundreds of small stingrays cruising the beach. We all stood watching this school of creatures pass like cars at a railway crossing. Thet stretched for hundreds of yards swimming within feet of us. Soon all the other people that were on the beach came to see what we saw. All of those people including us stood in awe at the passing of something most of us have never seen outside of an aquarium. Like water angels flying by at our feet. The whole crowd of people followed the school down the beach untill they turned and headed out for deeper water. In my heart never spoken I wanted something very special for Gracee on her Birthday. My Father heard that desire and invited a couple hundred of his friends to fly by and bless her. She ,or I , or all of those people will never forget this day. The most special of all her birthdays. Thank you Father for loving me this much. You are Way Cool!
