Hawaii 2016

Last week Larry and I went to visit Sarah, our niece, on the Island of Oahu.  What a wonderful week of enjoying God’s creation and celebrating the Creator!  Sarah was a wonderful tour guide.  This was the first time to visit Hawaii for Larry and the second for me.  Forty-seven years ago, on these same dates as a senior in high school, I visited four of the Hawaiian Islands with my grandparents.  Unexpectedly, several times during the week I had sweet vivid memories of visiting the same places with them.  It was also extra special getting to spend the week with Larry and Sarah.

And now a few of the highlights…

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 34:8

Should you not fear me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,
    an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
    they may roar, but they cannot cross it. 

Jeremiah 5:22
