The Shinning Path
It's late in the evening and we decide to take a walk along the beach.
Slowly we walk along, talking quietly, making plans for the rest of our seaside vacation.
We have been planning this all year and at last we're here.
The tide is out and the waves are gently lapping on the shore, almost a whisper.
Farther out the waves make more sound.
Just before sunset we see a string of pelicans skim the waves in search of that last snack.
Then we find a nice spot and sit down to watch the sea get darker as the shadows lengthen on the beach.
There is just enough light to see the silver edge of the waves.
Far out we can see the blinking light of a channel marker.
Soon the moon will be up and we wait.
Tonight it will be full and the sky is clear.
We have seen the moon rise out of the ocean before but it never fails to amaze us with its beauty.
Slowly it peeks over the horizon and brings new life to the waves.
They are edged in silver and the droplets of water glitter like diamonds tossed there by the hand of God.
It's like He tossed them there so we alone could see.
When the moon has risen almost completely it makes a shining path out in the ocean.
Could the path to our future be shining that brightly?
Somewhere in the back of my mind I can see it shining to show us a bright future ahead.
The future is ours to hold!
