Peggy's Cove.

Hey all,

How have you all been? Hopefully good, even though summer's coming to a close! This post is going to be about a part of my summer actually. I went out East with my family for about 10 days. We travelled through Nova Scotia and PEI, and I must say, if you have never seen the ocean, it is painstakingly beautiful. For weeks I imagined what it would be like to see it, because I'd heard stories of the waves and the sounds and the majesty of it.
One of the days, we went to Peggy's Cove, NS. For those of you that have been there and for those of you that have not, you may or may not know that it is a MAJOR tourist attraction. People from all over the world come to see it. When I was there, I could literally stand in one spot and I would hear people speaking French, English, Spanish and German or something in all directions. Very cool. BUT, the point of the spot is the lighthouse. To my knowledge, it is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the WORLD. The WORLD! How cool is that?
So, when I stood there, staring at this huge, photographed, old and important lighthouse and watched the waves crash on the eroded rocks behind it, all I could think was, How beautiful is our God? The only way that I think I could describe the ocean is powerful. The waves could swallow you up in seconds and the depth of it is mindblowing. God created that. God created the things that we can't even comprehend. He understands their compexity and their special features. Sound familiar? It's just like us. We're like the ocean and the rocks and the sky and the wind. We're unique and beautiful and created for a purpose and a reason. Whether it be to blow the leaves around in the fall or to take people on boats from one land mass to another, we have a purpose.

Happy Summer guys!

  1. Well put. I personaly beleive that there is a bit of God (such as power or beauty or so on) but even all put together, the whole UNIVERS and everything else, does not come close to him in any positif quality.

    That's what I was listening to when I read this post. Listen to it, read this, and you'll immediately see the awesome connection.

    Well done!
