I was walking along the beach on a pretty miserable day in Harlech,
North Wales, when I came across this tree stump in the sand - I don't
know how it got there, or whether I will ever see it again, but for me
at the time, it was both unexpected and unforgettable - a shape of a
heart and for me a vision of God's love.
From what I can remember it was quite cold and darkened on that day,
I felt tired and lethargic as I tried to walk across the sand. On witnessing
this scene however, I was filled with warmth - the day somehow
immediately felt brighter and I had a spring in my step.
With God, I find you can often meet with him in unexpected places,
and at unexpected times and this was no exception. A beautiful
reminder for me that God is always with us - Immanuel, to lift our
spirits as we journey on through life.
