Vacation, Day 2, Part 2

We all got going, had breakfast, and went to church at our sister church in the Daytona area. I got to see several friends, but none so special as our friends, The Gabriels. I met Phill, Katie and Elizabeth the same day I decided I wanted Jesus to be my Lord…May 22, 1994. And we all moved to Atlanta (from NY) in 1995 where Michael, Brianna, and then Matthew later were born. These are special and faithful friends I am so grateful to be able to have spent time with while we were here. BUT, as much as I could have sat and talked to them until bedtime, it was David’s only day at the timeshare, so we went back to the Georgian Inn…and the OCEAN!

And, while it's amazing enough to be at the beach at all, this was a VERY special time for us all. Brianna got to play in the ocean WITH HER DAD, for the first time! She has always loved the beach, and being in the ocean, but I have some physical limitations that don't allow me to go in past my knees so I could never go with her to the deeper water. But now she gets to go a lot further out with David. They had a great time body surfing!

After David and Brianna had enough playing in the ocean we all went swimming in the pool for a little while, then headed for the hot tub. That was WONDERFUL! Then it was off to bed because we were TIRED!

While to most a little body surfing may not seem like a big deal...but I stood on the shore crying tears of gratitude over the kindness God has shown our family. David is the answer to a lifetime of prayers...he is the perfect husband for me, but he is also the perfect dad for Brianna. I never seem to lack awe for God, and His perfect plan for our family...He has been so kind to keep revealing little tidbits here and there of just how precise He has designed us all for each other. You are amazing God!
