Washington is the only place I've ever gone somewhere labeled a "beach" and had to wear Ugg boots. It's also the only place I've been that has such crisp, brisk air, with wind cold enough to turn my nose red. This past weekend when I was on a Young Life retreat, we took a few minutes to explore the beach. We were able to drive our car down on the sand...it was crazy awesome! You know what I loved the most, beyond the water and stunning view? The designs that the sand create. Design is embedded in all things, and one of my favorite places to find it is in nature! I stood there in awe, although it was a blustery, freezing cold day, I stood still thinking of things I was thankful for. Upon returning home after our retreat was over, I jotted down a few more things I was thankful for, as apart of my 1000 Gifts Thankful Challenge*.
