Oceans of love…

119ps

097ps

The sea always speaks to me…

of His love that never fails,

like the ceaseless rolling of the waves,

100ps

101ps

of His love so overwhelming, so powerful,

like the untamed might of the sea,

106ps

113ps

of His love immeasurable,

like the bottomless depths of the sea.

Oh, how He loves us!

I continue to count my thanks

piling up gratitude day by day

in my little green journal.
