A Day at the Beach!
A piece of paradise is found in the fact that dropping someone off at the airport is not just about driving to the airport, farewells, and driving home. Here in paradise, we still have to do the driving, we cherish the farewells, WE GO TO THE BEACH, and then we drive home. There are times that we forget that we are living on an island with beautiful beaches as we live up in the mountains. On Wednesday, we carried Elsie Eisenmann back to the airport and reminded ourselves that we are on an island. We took the opportunity to steal some family time at the beach after dropping Elsie at the airport. It was a beautiful day, the kids loved playing in the sand, and the water was refreshing. It was a great time and as we remember that day we come to more fully understand that paradise has much less to do with where you are and much more to do with who you are with. We give God thanks for the gift of our family and we pray that we can use this blessing to bless others.
