patience, faith, and gifts

the sea does not reward those who are too anxious,

too greedy, or too impatient.

to dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed,

but lack of faith.

patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches.

patience and faith.

one should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach -

waiting for a gift from the sea.

book of faith

this is the third journal in my "book of..." series, and i think that it may be my favorite.  not only am i happy with the way it looks on the outside, but i'm especially loving this book's purpose...a special place to record scriptures, prayers and inspirations.  

small envelopes in coordinating colors are scattered throughout the inside pages...perfect for holding special thoughts, prayers, blessings, or praise.  you can see more photos of this journal here on flickr.
