Four Days of Beach Blessings

Between today and my last post, I was able to go hunting for beach blessings four times.  This is the combined collection.  Would you believe there are 262 pieces of sea glass?  And just look at that magnificent chunk of dark green near the middle!  Whew!  I'll be making something out of that one!

From the bottom of the pile and heading clockwise along the perimeter you'll see: five ceramic shards, a heart-shaped rock with favosite fossil "wings", a crinoid-filled heart-shaped rock, an unidentified fossil that I initially thought was Cladopora, four really pretty granite rocks, a perfectly pendant-ready clay rock, two small pipe organ coral fossils, a honeycomb coral, a piece of horn coral, and above the corals are 16 crinoids with one tiny piece of horn coral.  Continuing around, there are three petoskey stones, a Fern Creek tillite, and a beautiful amber-colored quartz.

Today's Inspiration  (a promise from God to help you live a long life)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord,  for this is right.  "Honor your father and mother"---which is the first commandment with a promise---"so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."
 Ephesians 6:1-3  (NIV)

Coming off of Mother's Day and heading into Father's Day, I felt this was the perfect reading, especially for anyone who is estranged from their parents and would like to have peace regarding them.
