My vacation was one I will never forget. It amazes me that last week I was on Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. The location was pure fairy tale even when life isn’t. I kept telling myself to be pinched. I couldn’t believe this was my reality. I’ve come back with plenty of seashells and sand in my purse that I don’t want to clean out. I’ve eaten more lobster in every form. Every bite left me to imagine if my fantasy matched the reality. As I took in God’s creation, my breath got caught, my eyes amazed. The teal and turquoise waters crashing against golden sand will be etched forevermore. With each step, I fell in love with the Creator who exceeds my expectation, and says look. My soul rejoiced when my mind could not. I will say that on vacation, anxiety, still visited me. I needed to feel that ocean air, soft sand, massage those seashells to realign. Different locations teach different lessons, but they all come back with the same message. God is everywhere and in everything.
I'm glad you had a great vacation.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week, Regine. ♥
So glad you had a wonderful trip, Regine. I love lobster, especially dipped in butter. The seashells you brought back are a keepsake, and it's always nice to dangle our toes in sand from time to time. Such beautiful words about God - He is everywhere and in everything.
ReplyDeleteHave a really good week, dear friend.

The beauty of nature gives me my spiritual inspiration. God made all the beauty just for us! I have always wanted to go to Cape Cod, how wonderful this would have been!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! God's beauty is definitely manifested in nature and in the kindness and empathy of people we meet. I visited Martha's Vineyard years ago and also fell in love with it! The ferry ride to and from Woods Hole, MA, was also enchanting.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you. Next time I want to come. Let me know I will meet you there!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I am glad you had a lovely vacation!

ReplyDeleteSo nice for you to have such a wonderful vacation and soul soothing moments. I agree ..the Creator is in everything and everywhere. I would love to visit those areas you mentioned some day.
ReplyDeletePraise God for your wonderful vacation! It sounds so wonderful, Regine! You've described it so beautifully I felt like I was there with you. Yes, Our Creator is always with us, everywhere present. I'm so glad He spent time with you there at His ocean. Perhaps He carried you on the sand and left His footprints while He carried you...Just a beautiful thought.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your vacation did it's job in clearing your head and feeding your soul. The beach is like that. I love Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard - still hoping to get to Nantucket sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteOh wow the sounds incredible, wish I was there. Love your description.

Oh Rue - this makes me so happy! God is so good.
ReplyDeleteIt is very easy to see how wonderful that vacation was. I have had few...but I have had some times as idyllic as that as well. Never to be forgotten.

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my Blog! Oooh if I had known you before your vacation we could have met irl, I live on Cape Cod and it is sooooo magical! Glad you had a wonderful vacation and ate too much lobster--the best! You know, once this salty air gets in your bloodstream there's no turning back! (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteMartha's Vineyard is a bit of my heaven on earth and I'm so glad you could experience it -- and the Cape and Nantucket. That's a lovely spot, too (never been to the Cape!) It sounds just wonderful and a vacation is sorely needed these days. I love your words and excitement.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your visits. I was beginning to wonder so glad you checked in!
Those are places I read about in Danielle Steel books
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful, this is on my list of places to visit, hopefully in the next few years!
ReplyDeleteRegine, thank you for coming over to visit me this morning and I've come back to visit you. Your blog icon was on my desktop along with many others and one day they all disappeared and I never put any of them back, until today...You are back my friend where I can click daily. I am blessed when you use words to Praise your creator, my creator, the lover of our souls!
