Beauty can bring heartache.

Two weeks ago, I was at the lake.
For the first time I witnessed the search and rescue teams at work.  There was a missing boater and the crews were out in mass looking for the missing father of 2.
It was a humbling experience.  What do we rely on in this type of situation?
How could the serene and picturesque water I had grown to love and appreciate hold such grief and sorrow? 

I am sure these thoughts had been felt before by other families in similar situations near a body of water.
May we all respect the nature around us.  It is much bigger than any one person.

A wife and her two young children buried their father and husband this week.  May God bless them with strength and courage with each passing day. 

Psalm 9:9


The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
