Stop & Watch The Dolphins

We were in the boat and saw a cluster of dolphins so along with two other boats we stopped to watch. An angry boater came by and started yelling that we were stopped in a channel. No one responded but I got mad. There were about seven dolphin playing around us. One kept coming up to our boat and going under it. Mike kept telling me he would get a video for me so I could just watch but I kept videoing. When I got home I looked at my videos and I had none. God pointed out to me that I was not much different than that mouthy boater. I may not have said anything but I had ugly thoughts. Psalm 19: 14, "May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." I was judging him on his mouth and forgetting about my heart.


Neither of us really stopped to watch the dolphins. I could not enjoy for trying to get the perfect video and he was in such a hurry. Ecclesiastes 3: 1, "There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens..." Watching dolphin is such a gift from God to me and is so peaceful. I love watching dolphin and I really did miss it because I was not in the moment. I live in a beautiful place and God's creation is too precious to rush through and not enjoy. James 1: 17, " Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."


/ Enjoy the moment!
