Felt Like Knitting: Ten on Tuesday: Ten Things To Do At the Beach

The Word

1 Corinthians 16:14
Do everything in love.
Philippians 4:6, 7
Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Ten on Tuesday: Ten Things To Do At the Beach

Knitting on the beach at "Sharky's on the Pier"

Praise God - It never fails. When I see the ocean, I realize again that the world is a very cool place and that God created it. It's too easy to forget that when I am in my usual routine.

Knit - I take my knitting, of course!

Fly kites - One year we took our kites and that was great! I keep meaning to pack them again...

Pick up shells - Some beaches are better for this than others or maybe it just depends on how close to the beach I'm staying. If we have a condo on the beach, it's a lot easier to get there earlier.

Sift sand for shark teeth - A lot of shark teeth can be found in Venice, FL. My FIL has a basket on a pole that makes sifting easier.

Talk - We are usually with family at the beach, so we chat while we...

Sit in the sun - I frequently stay in the shade of the umbrella, but sometimes it's nice to feel the warmth of the sun.

Eat - When we are at the beach at Sharky's, we have lunch there.

Go for walks - I love to walk on the beach with my family! If there's a dog beach, that's even better. It's so fun to see the dogs running into the water to retrieve balls.

Take photos - It's great to document our trips. You won't ever see a picture of me that far out in the water. :)

My parents are snow birds, and they love picking up sharks' teeth in FL all winter long!

I think being near the water makes me feel so close to God. It's so peaceful and serene. I don't think I have ever found a sharks tooth at the beach!

I love that I can picture just where you are and what you were doing because I've been to the same beach!
