Monday morning we woke up to the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the lowest tide of the year!
It was a negative tide (-2.21 at 7:10 AM) and absolutely incredible!

Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me
Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.

Jessica,
Where is this place? My daughter wants to go there.

Fascinating! I've never seen so many starfish, or such bright-green sea-anemones.
I hope you are getting well and that your little guy is healing up well after his stitches.
Good health to you all.

WOW! What a treat to see all those sea creatures, thanks for sharing!
WOW Jessica, what fantastic photos, I've never seen anything like those starfish, anemones and the other sea creatures in real life…the colours and shapes are beautiful.
Thank you once again for a peek into your life, you & your family are such an inspiration.
God Bless,
Robyn
Wow! Thanks for sharing these!
Thanks for sharing – these photos are unbelievable. Now I can say I have seen sea creatures I have never seen before or will get to see! They are so beautiful and colorful! You made my Day, week, month, and year! xx blessins from peejay
Jessica, that was an amazing experience, just from my computer screen. How awesome to be there in person! We studied ocean creatures last year, took a beach vacation (the kids were so excited) and… saw a dead crab, a dead jellyfish, and a bunch of teeny bivalves that burrowed in the sand over and over at low tide. Still fun. 🙂
