Brazil Day Four: Another Day Anew

Another day on the beach.  Another day of tanning.  Another day of drinking coconut milk.  Another day of eating a packed lunch.  Another day of reading.  Another day of views.  It all sounds so repetitive, yet the Lord always seems to bring new excitement and refreshment with every new and blessed day of life.  ~Running barefoot two miles where the water kisses the sandy beach.  ~Acquiring natural flip flops from a mixture of water, sand, and a jelly substance, which we later discovered to be fish eggs.  ~Finding colorfully striped souvenirs of the sea, sea shells.  ~Drawing pictures in the sand, building a sand castle, and having a sand [mud] fight.  ~Praising Jesus for His wonderful artwork: "The mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of Your name. I'll sing for joy at the work of Your hands, forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in You!" No matter how similar each day is, there are always new joys in every morning.
