“And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear. “ And it was so. God called the dry ground “land” and the gathered waters he called “seas”. And God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:9 [NIV]
The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing. I am sitting on the warm silver sand at Jullouville in Normandy which stretches down to the sea where enthusiasts are kite surfing. The wind tugs at the sails striped in red and blue, white and green and pulls the boards along the surface of the waves. Some manage long runs; others are novices and spend more of their time in the water than on it. It is glorious being in the open air with such a huge expanse of sand, sea and sky before me and time to just stare. No wonder God, looking at his creation, declared it was good.
Thank you God for the beauty you created and the many ways we can enjoy it. Amen.
