Aquarium and Beach Trip

We enjoyed a change of pace last week

and took a trip to the aquarium

and then to the beach with lunch

and a desire to get our toes wet...

though many got more than only their toes wet. ;)

We've been here for two years

and hadn't, yet, made it to the aquarium

so we were glad to do it!

Tooth pics :)

see-sawing

bicycling to produce water flow in the fountain

Learning about fish and sea creatures

we don't remember what they are- lol

sea worms (mom's name for them)

Reading about whales and listening to their calls

watching and petting - sea cucumbers and sea urchins

looking out at the ocean

Wetting their feet and more in the Pacific :)

Come, let us sing to {YHVH} יהוה! 

Let us raise a shout to the Rock of our deliverance.
Let us come before His face with thanksgiving; 

Let us raise a shout to Him in song.
For {YHVH}  יהוה is a great Ěl, 

And a great Sovereign above all mighty ones.
In whose hand are the depths of the earth; 

The mountain peaks are His also.
His is the sea, for He made it; 

And His hands formed the dry land.

Psalm 95:1-5

Shalom!

To Walk and Wonder

It was a beautiful day... 

The kind of beautiful day when one is compelled to take a walk,

soak in the sunshine, breathe the fresh air,

and marvel at Yah's creation...

and to share the experience with those close to one's heart...

Yeah... we marvel...

And we marvel more...

 

And we explore...

... to, yes, marvel more...

And explore... explore...

And marvel all the way home...

Take a walk. Breathe the fresh air. 

See and marvel at our Creator.

Praise Him for He is worthy.

"For since the creation of the world 

His invisible qualities have been clearly seen, 

being understood from what has been made, 

both His everlasting power and Mightiness..."

Romans 1:20

Shalom!

A Whale of a Trip

Last week we were blessed 

with the opportunity to go whale watching.

It was an amazing experience.

Pulling out of the harbor

There was so much to see.

As I stood, holding on to the railing,

with the Pacific breeze blowing across my face...

I just stood in awe.

YHVH is awesome.

We just can't comprehend how much so...

All we can do sometimes is just stand there 

and try to breathe it all in.

"Be still, and know that I am Elohim..."
Psalm 46:10

He covers you with His feathers, And under His wings you take refuge;
His truth is a shield and armour. ~ Psalm 91:4

Let me dwell in Your Tent forever,
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
Psalm 61:4

Let the heavens and earth praise Him,
The seas and all that moves in them. ~ Psalm 69:34

Let the rivers clap their hands,
Let the mountains sing together for joy before {YHVH} יהוה
Psalm 98:8

For since the creation of the world His invisible qualities have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made,
both His everlasting power and Mightiness...
Romans 1:20

By the Word of {YHVH} יהוה the heavens were made, And all their host
by the Spirit of His mouth, Gathering the waters of the sea
together as a heap; Laying up the deep in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear {YHVH} יהוה;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
Psalm 33:6-8

When He set the clouds above, When He made the fountains of the deep strong,
When He gave to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He decreed the foundations of the earth...
Proverbs 8:28-29

O {YHVH} יהוה, how many have been Your works!
You have made all of them in wisdom.
The earth is filled with Your possessions.
There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable swarms,
Living creatures, small with great. ~ Psalm 104:24-25

Yeah... it was pretty amazing...

All day long I bless You,
And praise Your Name forever and ever.
Great is {YHVH} יהוה, and greatly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.
Generation after generation praise Your works,
And they declare Your mighty acts.
Psalm 145:2-4

We could have stayed all day admiring the handiwork of YHVH.

"Let all that have breath praise Yah. Praise Yah!"
Psalm 150:6

Shalom!
