“Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.”
Ecc. 4-9, NIV
I’m just back from a quick trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama, where I snapped the
picture of these two little sandpipers running along the beach. They reminded
me of the Bible verse above, maybe because this was a lonely stretch of sand
and they seemed to be sticking close together.
A friend is a blessing!
I snapped a photo of this little boy last night at Lulu’s, a restaurant in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Turns out Lulu is owned and operated by Jimmy Buffet’s sister, which explains the beach-fun atmosphere and live music. I love that Lulu’s offers lots of things for kids to do and play with while their parents wait to be called to a table.
Love this New World translation of Matthew 18:3, too: “…Truly I say to you, Unless You turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens.”
Isn’t it sad that when we grow up, we start feeling guilty about taking any time to play? We can worship God in our play as well as in our work, as long as we honor His creation and love each other.
Hope you will do something fun for yourself today, and revel in the joy that comes from remembering how to play!
