Salt Water Cures

Daily Gratitude Year 7-Day 291: Today, I am grateful for salt water cures.

This little quote struck a sweet chord today. Salt water is good for whatever ails you. 

Do you know a cure for me?"
"Why yes," he said, "I know a cure for everything. Salt water."
"Salt water?" I asked him.
"Yes," he said, "in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.” — Karen Blixen

Hard work, a good cry... or the beach. 

We had the joy of watching a special young couple take sacred vows today. They are heading to the beach for their honeymoon. Perhaps, that is why this quote jumped out. A beach sounds so lovely as our temperatures are dropping. It will be a perfect place to relax after all the hustle and bustle of a wedding. 

There is a time and a season for everything. Today was full of happy. But a life well lived will result in a few tears, too. Whether we are dancing in the waves out of pure joy or pressing through sad days... salt water is good for the soul. 

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. -Romans 12:15

Today, I am grateful for salt water cures.
