Standing on the front deck of our bay house, I was captivated by the view of sunrise over the water once again. Pretty much every morning my husband and I have been here the dogs have woken me up earlier than I wanted for their morning potty break and breakfast. But secretly? I have loved the early start because I've gotten to watch the sun coming up over the various and changing colors of Texas's Matagorda Bay.
On this particular morning I looked and my heart ached. It wasn't the last time I'd see it, but I knew we were on a countdown. This precious view of day breaking over God's creation would not be mine forever. The beauty and serenity that has marked every weekend spent here—far from people, busyness, work, church, life, and traffic—one day would all be a collection of memories in my heart and photos that show up on my Facebook feed.
