Collecting November

I started a special jar for the beach glass I collect in November. It wasn't originally on purpose, as it just is time to start a new jar on the windowsill. November beach glass, though, reminds me of hope.

November beach glass is especially precious, as it only gets collected when the storms pass. Each little gem I find is a day that the rain stopped long enough for a beach walk. A sliver of time to be savored. A moment to be enjoyed. A jeweled reminder that, yes, even though it may take time, patience, and perseverance, the sun will come out eventually.

Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5b
