A wise mentor told me about walking the beach with her young daughter collecting shells. At the end of their walk they spread their collection on the sand. My friend noticed her daughter’s shells were all broken. Surprised she asked, “why did you gather all broken ones?” Her daughter responded, “Someone has to love them too...” Thank God!

We have had a lot of jellies on the Alabama Gulf Coast beaches near us. Have to be careful walking on the beach

A wonderful reminder to acknowledge the gashes (inner, outer, everywhere) and so grow stronger.
