The Ocean effect


There is something about the Ocean. You stand out in the water, perhaps 4-500 feet out and its up to my neck. I just look out and stare into its vastness. It helps you realize how you are but a grain of sand on this earth, and yet somehow you are significant to the Lord.

When you see the waves forming as they come in, it represents life to me. Little situations that are felt by standing out out there. Some waves are just a swell that just sort of lift you up as they go by. Others are mauling you and moving you back. Some smack you a little, and yet have no lingering effect.

Its just like life, when you constantly are facing the ocean.

Yet when you go with the flow of the waves and rise and see how far you can ride them, thats also life. It s just facing life in a different perspective. Its willing to ride with life and not let it smack you down.

When you ride life's waves, and lose your eyes and say Jesus carry me, its amazing sometimes how far the journey goes. Its like stepping out of trying to always resist. Its trusting him.

Amen..GBY....I love the Gulf of Mexico... I think satan hangs out in the Atlantic...lol



‘HE will rule them with an iron scepter.’... He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.... On HIS robe and on HIS thigh HE has this name written:... KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

MomT was watching a special about Niagra Falls and they had some experts on there talking about the Positive Ions from Niagra Falls that makes people feel good.....the more water, the more positive ions....

That would explain another reason people feel so good around the ocean, all those positive ions in the air....

Also, saltwater in the air is good for your lungs......


I wouldnt be surprised

Roses: Great analogy Dennis. I'm drawn to the water - something about it calls up peace and contentment in me, even when the water is rough! I think it is that vastness . . .

I know exactly what you mean. I love all of it.
