The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach–waiting for a gift from the sea. ~Ann Morrow Lindbergh
I did not take this photo. It came to me via a text from my dear friend, Melinda Ysaguirre, AKA @JOYFULLTOO.”Thinking of you today…love and thankfulness,” she wrote. I’ve returned to it several times this week. A beautiful gift from the sea during a rather stormy week.
Has He spoken into your stillness this week? Given you a gift? Won’t you share? Get the details at the Still Saturday tab above. Link up a photo, grab a button, and let’s listen to Him together.
Love that quote Sandy and the photo. My aunt gave me Gifts from the Sea after she read it on a flight to my house from hers. I savored it over many days and drank in the wisdom. And living at the beach, it was like looking out the window every day. Hope you have a good day.
It was a good day, Shelly. Beautiful weather. I go back to this book several times.
LOVE this, Sandra. It’s been a few years, but like Shelly, I’ve spent much time delighting in “Gifts from the Sea.”
Have a GREAT weekend!
🙂 🙂
That’s what I need! A weekend at the sea.
Let’s go! But for more than a weekend. It’ll take that long just to settle in. Maybe a week to settle in. We better plan a month.
Beautiful…still holding hands with the Lord of the storms and the seas. And with you beloved friend.

So peaceful and beautiful!
And don’t you just love that pink Bible cover!
Ahh, to be by the sea. But we are enjoying such mild temperatures, I cannot complain. Maybe I’ll have to do a little deck-sitting on this not-so-still Saturday. 🙂 (See? I’m a bit dull but I can catch a hint :))
You’re really good at that hint catching. 😉
I’d love some time by the sea, but the windows are open, and the summer sounds drift in, and I can’t believe in mid-March I wake up too warm. Love it.
good quote.
Too anxious, too greedy, too impatient. Me?
🙂 Happy Saturday to you, beautiful Sandy.
I know. Me neither. 😉
Happy Preparation Day!
Haven’t had a chance to link with your Still Saturday yet, but am blessed by your quotation and photo. I’m thinking I’ll have to make my contribution a “Still Sunday” one this time. 🙂
Maybe I should have made it a Still Weekend. 😉
You might want to consider linking with Deidra’s Sunday community, too. 🙂

What a precious and thoughtful gift from your friend.
She’s just like that. 🙂 Nice to see you, Michelle.
True—and not just with the sea. The greatest rewards unfold with waiting, yes?
In the waiting. Yes. But sometimes so hard to remember. 🙂 Peace on your weekend, Dea.
Love this picture! Wouldn’t we all love to be there reading and Journaling? Happy Weekend everyone!
Love that quote. haven’t read that book for a long time. I think I will dig it out and read it again. It is beautiful writing. Thanks for the remindeer
Amazing how a simple photo can make you feel happy and relaxed. Blessings to you!
It is a lovely photo, Sandy, and even lovlier because it’s a shared moment that brought you peace. Ahhh…the beauty of the Body. Love that!
