Beautifully Broken

"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well." Psalm 139:14 (NKJV)

As I took a walk yesterday on our beach, the tide was almost all the way up to the rocks. This meant very little sand to walk my dog on and very few shells. I usually come home with at least one perfectly sculpted shell to place in my flower garden but there were NONE. Looking down among the sea oats were only broken scallop and oyster shells.

Walking and praying I was reminded of a poem I had written a few years ago.

These broken imperfect shells were beautiful in their own unique way.

As I arrived back home, I placed my special treasures in my herb garden. Thank YOU LORD for this sweet reminder of how YOU love me just the way I am.
