Tides

Categories: Blessings, Sea

I stand on the beach
Watching the sea
A wave comes in
I feel happy –fulfilled
The wave retreats
I’m sad – bereft
Yet the backwash for me
Is the swash for another
So I’ll no longer look
At each separate wave
But consider the tide
The ups and downs
The comings and goings
Of the tide of life
The vast ocean of God
So deep – unfathomable
That brings waves of blessing to all.

Psalm 95:5
Deuteronomy 7:13 & 28:6
