The Tide Of Life At the beach, when the tide is going out, the waves recede and it seems that nothing is happening in the sea. But the truth is, the great swells are gathering strength beneath the waters; Building energy for the time that the tide will return..... It's similar to the times in our lives when something we have depended on is gone and we are left with a feeling of emptiness and sadness. At times like this we can take heart knowing that an unseen strength is building within us, if we can only be patient. Relying on a sure faith, the tide of life will turn, and happiness, love, and fulfillment will once again return to us.
