Be Patient

Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm. — James 5:7-8

Saturday we went to dinner to celebrate Abby's birthday with friends and family.

Here's the view from the restaurant.

We timed it perfectly and even got to watch the beautiful sunset over the ocean.

God has blessed us with 22 years with our daughter.

We had a fun time celebrating and catching up over dinner.

It's not always easy to be patient, but God helps us learn how to be patient when we get anxious or worried. We are thankful.

The True God

The Lord is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. — Jeremiah 10:10

Today Abby and I will take off from work so we can once again hit the beach before Kirk has to return to school.

Another gorgeous day in sunny southern California.

Here we are several years ago, enjoying the beach together.

I can't go in the ocean water yet, until my immune system bulks up a bit, but I'll enjoy a swim in the pool afterward.

The Lord has given us this beautiful day, and we are thankful.

He is the living God, our eternal king.
