God gave me a blessed beach and prayer day, although some good rain this afternoon, which all is such a blessing! What peace today! God is so good! I had a nice time at the beach today, no rain, and enjoyed my ocean and prayer time with God today. I had a nice short outing, and then the rain came, it has been raining most of the afternoon and evening. But we needed the rain, we have had a drought now for months, so thank God for all the good rain to make everything green. God is just so so great! I am so blessed my parents raised me to know Jesus, be Catholic, and go to church and receive communion each week, this all is a blessing too, I do not think it is a coincidence that because of all, I have so much peace in my life, I have so many blessings. To be retired young, to have so many more dreams, to write more books, to do this Discipleship Blog, to keep learning and loving like Jesus. I have had such a blessed career as an educator for almost four decades, so many wonderful students, publications, and accomplishments, very blessed and thankful to the Lord for all. My beach time is so nice, to pray, be in the ocean, to feel the sun, wind, water, and God, praying and talking with my Maker, it is all a blessing and it all gives me so much peace. God is so good to me! It is nice to live with a grateful heart! This is what brings peace!
