Day 15 of Gratitude: O

I am grateful for the Ocean
It is my favorite body of water. I love the sound of the waves as they rush in and out and in and out, they never stop.  I love the way the water feels when it washes over my feet, then the sand is immediately pulled out from under them by the strong force of a wave. I love that it is massive and great and is a vibrant living world for creatures great and small.  Just walking at the waters edge, small creatures leave evidence of life in the ocean with beautiful and intricately detailed shells, some that still continue to sing it's ocean song, and rocks that are washed over and over again until they are smooth.  I am forever amazed and delighted by the evidence of His creation, he gives a boundry to the seas that they never cross.
This one of my most favorite pictures.  It is my husband and my son looking out at the big ships on the California Coast.
