Love Letter In The Sand


When my Dad and Mom were down here in Florida to visit me a month ago, I went out on some nature shoots at Lake Parker with Dad as you have seen in previous posts. The first morning that I joined him at the lake, I found myself walking near the boat ramp and treading near the edge of the sandy bank.

It wasn’t a far venture for my mind to quickly figure up something special to do for my girl. When I saw the “sandy” area beside the boat ramp, I immediately got the idea to write a “Love Letter In The Sand” to my lady, “Sandy“. Once completed, I photographed my message. After I returned home that morning, I downloaded the image and emailed it to Sandy at her job. Needless to say, it was a nice surprise for her.

This message of Love may be written in the sand, but I know that the foundation of our relationship is built on a solid rock, which is Christ Jesus. I see my relationship with Sandy as a house that is being built by God…with His materials. This is something that I have prayed and I believe God is doing it.

Salty showed me this picture, or one similar to it. It made me smile immediately, and I appreciate the deeper meaning to it, too (Sandy's name in sand, but a relationship built upon the rock).

That is wonderful Chad! I just know that God is honoring you both. I love the fact that our beloveds are hand picked and made for us by a loving Creator. He is so personal with us.

Enjoy discovering all God is laying out for you both. I am sure it is quite a path!

I'm glad you two have found happiness with one another. I think too often people find love and don't give it the credit or the appreciation it deserves.

Keep it up dear friend and pretty soon you'll be celebrating your 28th wedding anniversary. I close my eyes and it feels like yesterday when I got married, now here I am gong on my 28th year. It really isn't that hard, it takes love and respect and it seems you have plenty of that for Sandy. I wish you the best. Always remember love is beautiful.

I like the double meaning of “sandy area” and your girl Sandy. Keep building on The Rock; that’s the only way to have a great relationship!

While going through our vacation pictures I keep looking at the one you have posted and marvel at how God has brought the two of you together.

This is so sweet...very romantic. What girl wouldn't love to open her email to find this photograph.

You are one of a kind, Chad. Blessings to you and Sandy as you move forward in your relationship.

That was sweet of her to write that in the sand ... and for you to capture it & send it to her.

As long as couples put Jesus first in their relationship ... He will bless it!

As others have said, building a life on the Solid Rock is the only way to true happiness. Thank you for sharing your Faith with all of us.
The Lord will bless your life.
