Life is not always calm seas and smooth sailing.What can we do when the tsunami hits?What can we learn from the waves?Realize that life is not all storms. Enjoy the gentle rolling waves that wash and refresh the beach. When the waves are up and churning, ride them. Then as the tide recedes, glean the treasures deposited at the water's edge. Just like the movement of the ocean on the seashore, families are in a constant state of change. From the gentle rolling waves to the tumultuous thunder of the tsunami, so it can be in families.Storms will cause the ocean to churn, the depths to surface, and the waves to crash onto the beach, then the water recedes leaving treasures on the sand.Step into The Ebb and Flow of Life and Family -Ride the waves, stroll on the beaches, find those treasures in the sand, and be refreshed.Poems about the ups and downs of family life.
