What’s One Thing You do on Every Vacation?

Journal Prompts
Written By Monica

One year, we took a trip to Hilton Head. Each day, I sat by the water and observed the birds diving into the ocean to get their food. It was reflection time for me. I was reminded that God cares for all of His creation. I remember thinking how wonderful it must be to live a carefree life and to know that without fail, what you need will be where you need it when you need it. That trip was a few years ago but the image of the birds diving is tattooed on my brain. On every trip I take, I try to spend 30 minutes almost every day reflecting on life, the beauty around me, and the hands of Him who fashioned it all.

What is something you try to do on any trip you take?
