Last Thursday my Mom, my brother Bob, and I took a ride out to beautiful Sanibel Island. First we took a drive to the lighthouse where we strolled along the beach, picking up shells. High up in a tree near the beach is an osprey nest and we were fortunate enough to see Momma and Poppa Osprey feeding their babies.
It was a perfect day; the sun shone brightly and a nice breeze stirred the air. Afterwards, we piled back into the car and drove over to Bowman’s Beach where I had never been before. It was now getting near sunset and the sun was a huge bright ball sinking toward the water. Several others had the same idea, all looking out to the Gulf.
As the sun continued sinking, my brother put his arms around my mother and me and the three of us stood watching until the sun fell below the horizon leaving a pink fairy world in the sky with small clouds floating where the sun had been.
I thank God that the three of us were able to be together and to share this moment in time and that we will be together again next year to watch the sun set.
I hope all of you will have something to be thankful for and wish you all a happy Thanksgiving.
