Dear God,

On Friday we made our way to the Little River Lighthouse situated on a 15-acre island just off the coast of Cutler, Maine.  As we put our things away and sat down in the Adirondack chairs by the water, we let our souls drain of packing, grocery shopping and the hectic drive.  To replace it we drank in the solitude and peace of the forever-flowing ocean.

Early this morning I left my two-story room and walked back to the chairs carrying all my devotional books.  As I sat down I watched a single lobster boat purr through the water.  I listened to the seagulls' call and gazed as they took to a gust of wind climbing, soaring and dipping.  I realized I was free of worry and anxiety as I offered up my own concerns letting the seabirds take them to the sky.

I remembered once again the source of all peace.

Blessed are you,

God Most High.

Thank you

for the island,

the lighthouse

and the peace.

Thank you

for the inspiration

and blessing.

Yours, Andrea
