Little Stones

We found these little white stones on a beach in Corsica.

Andy found the first one: perfect, white and shiny… But could we find another one! So we looked and looked and … yes, we looked again.
The result you can see on the picture.

I asked myself the question: "How do little rocks get so smooth?" It needs other rocks, sand and movement of the ocean etc. Like Olives need to be put in an olive press in order to get the oil out.

A sentence came to my mind from the bible where God talks about relationships between brothers and brothers / sisters ,that we rub ourselves on each other, rub of the scarp edges. We felt a bit like that during our vacation. It wasn’t all easy and nice we also had our ruff parts smoothened.

Proverbs 27,17: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Often I think that we are the only married couple who have ruff parts. I wonder even after 30 or 40 years of marriage, do scarp edges still need to get rubbed off?

If I have time, I would like to make earrings out of these white shiny stones, so they will remind me what God had shown me during this vacation and I don’t forget it, smile.

Eph 2,19 – 22:
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit
