The Ocean is a Friend of Ours…especially during Quarantine!

“You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.” Psalm 89:9

In the past two weeks we have been SO LUCKY to have seen:

-Pods of dolphins hunting right in front of us. NEVER. gets. old.

• A PELICAN! (before you Floridians laugh, pelicans are a rare sighting for us – especially this time of year!)
• A SHIPWRECK off shore! No one was hurt – the Coast Guard rescued two men who ran aground in the inlet by Otter Beach. The kids had SO much fun pulling in planks from the boat that were floating in with the waves.

• TWO SEALS!! This is a first for us, and we throughly enjoyed sharing the sunshine with our new friends.

I am so grateful for our little barrier Island during this crazy time! The ocean has been the perfect cure for long, isolated days. The kids (and me and Steve) come back refreshed and hopeful every time. Seriously, thank you God for creating the sea! 

Hope you and your family are safe, healthy, and getting OUTSIDE as much as you can!
