    Summer is a popular beach time. If you’re not th Summer is a popular beach time. If you’re not there, picture yourself on a beach at sunrise. Pink, yellow, orange, and purple blend across the sky. The ocean is calm, its surface like shiny glass as the sun’s rays reflect on it. Your eyes look to the never-ending horizon, and you wonder what is on the other side. You glance to your right. People walk along the shoreline. Some children frolic in the waves. To your left, pet owners toss a Frisbee to their dogs. On the highest point along the beach sits a sandcastle, that survived the evening’s high tide. The sand extends as far as you can see to the right and to the left. Scientist Robert Krulwich reports, “If you assume a grain of sand has an average size, and you calculate how many grains are in a teaspoon and then multiply by all the beaches and deserts in the world, the Earth has roughly (and we’re speaking very roughly here) 7.5 x 10 to the 18th power grains of sand, or seven quintillion, five hundred quadrillion grains.” I can’t even write that number. The point is, when God says His thoughts about us are more numerous than the sand on the beaches, He’s declaring He thinks about us a whole lot. The thought is unfathomable. But try to wrap your mind around that fact for a few minutes. The intentional statement made by Sovereign God in Psalm 139:17-18 is so profound that it requires an incredible amount of faith to take Him at His word. When He says He thinks about us, He means He never takes a break. We can live well today and sleep soundly tonight. God is thinking about us and about every single thing that concerns us. What concerns you today? Tell Him all about it. Copyrighted@www.debbiepresnell.com

    It’s the first full week of June 2025. College It’s the first full week of June 2025. College graduations have passed. High school ones are coming up. School is ending and summer begins. Day trips are fun as are week-long vacations. Many are doing house maintenance, searching for jobs, and caring for others. Me? I’m preparing for the first “Arise, Shine” Conference. But whatever we’re doing, let’s all be kind. Since I shared about my daughter’s kindness to a stranger in a restaurant, I’ve seen so much kindness. A friend mailed me stationary this week that said, “Shine On.” That was sweet. And the guy at the drive through window said nice happy words through the speaker: “I’d like to help you have a good day.” He made me smile. Being kind is easy and inspiring … when we feel like it. But what if we all asked God to help us want to be kind, to provide us with an opportunity, and find joy in it? This will get us started: “Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.” (Matthew 7:12) God said in the Bible to “be kind to one another.” (Ephesians 4:32) So, let’s. www.debbiepresnell.com
