Steve and I decided to get out in the sunshine and the warmth and take a drive up to St Joe, Michigan to Silver Beach. i was excited to see Lake Michigan. it is a lake that fascinates me. it is so large - it is actually a little over 300 miles of lake. it is vast. but it's freshwater. every time i see it there is many things happening with ships and boats and fish and birds and lots of waves. today it was the calmest i have ever seen the lake. right up by the shore there was still a layer of icy - not solid but more like icy slush. there was a cold beauty to it. as i bent over and really looked - i saw some life underneath the ice and cold cold water. i was reminded again how we can never judge the state of someone's heart from the outside appearance. even if it appears to be cold and icy - there is still life happening. as you can see in this photo - the ice has formed patterns from the life that exists underneath. it was a fragile ice and shattered quite easily. God has His Hand in everything and everyone. He creates life - He creates patterns even in the coldest and severest of circumstances. there is always beauty - sometimes you have to look deep under the ice and they yuck - but there is beauty. love breaks through even the coldest of hearts. sometimes the layer of ice is thin and fragile and it doesn't take much to shatter. but there are times when the layer of ice around someone's heart is very very thick - but the Love of God is greater far than tongue nor pen can ever tell. it goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell. o Love of God, how rich and pure. how measureless and strong. it shall forever more endure. His Love is patient. Time has no measurement in His timing. so never give up. God never does.
