My family and I love to go to the beach.  We have particularly fallen in love with the beaches in Sanibel and Captiva Island in Florida.  My littlest is a shelling machine and this past December, as we strolled along the beach with our buckets and shovels in hand, it looked as though the gulf literally dumped seashells by the bucket full up and down the beach as far as we could see.  In some areas, we stood in shells that went over my ankles!  My daughter giddy with excitement to share her love of shelling with me and me to spend some one-on-one time with her, we set our sights on finding our shells.  I was in awe of the plethora of shells before us and it didn’t take long to notice that the shells we typically saw were not in the majority and the ones we had desperately sought before were there on display in large numbers and colors.

Clean the inside of your cup, and no longer the empty outward pleasing of man for I look at the heart. Be purposeful to the purpose outside of yourself for which I made you for the time is now to come and band together with me for just such a time as this.
