7x7: Ruins by the Breakers

"Can ye fathom the ocean, dark and deep, where the mighty waves and the grandeur sweep?" ~Fanny Crosby 

For this is what the LORD says—He who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited--He says: I AM the Lord, there is no other." ~Isaiah 45:18

“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.” ~Rachel Carson

"Beauty can be found among the thickets,

... above the ruins,

...along the beaten road.

Beauty is everywhere. Just look around. Look in the mirror." —momma of 3

The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. —Psalm 42:1-2

Ocean Love {one}

The SEA hath  NO KING but GOD ALONE.

~Dante Gabriel Rossetti, The White Ship

For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the Glory of the Lord. ~Habakkuk 2:14

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. ~Mother Theresa

I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. ~Genesis 22:17

I, the Lord, define the ocean's sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross.  The waves may toss and roar, but they cannot pass the boundaries I set. ~Jeremiah 5:22

ASK THE ANIMALS

But ask the animals, and they will teach you, 

or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, 

or let the fish of the sea inform you.

Which of all these does not know 

that the hand of the LORD has done this?

In His hand is the life of every creature

and the breath of all mankind.

~Job 12:7-10
