What Is Wrong With Me?


Sea Breezes What is wrong with me? I am addicted to free stuff and that includes nature. Here I am driving along Highway 17 this evening after a hard swim at the Y, wet hair and all. I was tired and anxious to get home. I haven't been home since seven this morning and, well, it's Monday. Anyways, I look over eastward and somebody has hung this huge, white, round moon smack dab over the salt marsh, painted the sky indigo and messed with the lights in pinks and purples. I almost had a wreck craning my neck to see a sight that I really couldn't afford to buy. The next thing I know, I pull my car over to the entrance to Two Way Fish Camp (for another post), I grab the camera and take a couple of pictures. My lens does not do justice to this beauty, but just try to imagine. I got out of the car, and the marsh grass danced in the cool evening sea breeze, I could hear the grasses rustling. When you get this close to marsh grass, you know you are at or below sea level, as the grass is higher than you are standing. Looking out over the salt marsh, in the horizon, is the Atlantic Ocean in the picture. Why doesn't God just let me go about my day? Why does He throw such beauty at me? He knows I can't afford to buy anything. I have promised myself to keep my camera handy. I hope He doesn't mind if I take a picture of His riches. He is so awesome. He knows I can't afford His stuff. Maybe that is what grace is all about.....a free gift of the best stuff.
