More than the SAND on the Shore

A story from Hurghada, Egypt, on the Beach of the Red Sea: Journal Archives

"As the tide is roling in, the water is smoothing out the coast where the footprints are at.
As the tide roles over my feet my toes can feel the tiny little grans of sand blanket my feet.
I understand this to be a metaphor of the sand grains and the thoughts that YOU think towards me... but WOW... to know this to be a reality of who YOU are...leaves me in awe.
...............
I have just now scooped up some sand with one finger and I am to be sure that there were at least 100 grains... 100 thoughts YOU think towards me, but no... YOUR word says that every thought that YOU think of me are MORE than the sand on the shore.  That is amazing and I don't deserve it.  YOU really do love me. "


I remember that day on the beach, lying in the sun... and a pinch of sand had more than 100 grains!  Can you think of 100 wonderful thoughts to think about someone... better yet, can you even think of 100 good things to think towards yourself???

My attempt
1.  you are ........

okay I got nothin'

For You and Me:  Reflect on HOW AMAZING God is.  He's so amazing that He had to give us an example of sand on the shore just so we might have a glimpse of how grand He really is.
