Just got back from a wonderful trip to the beach. There have been many such trips since moving to Florida almost a year ago, but today was extra special. You see, this was the first trip to the Atlantic since moving into our brand new home in Sebastian, which is about thirty minutes south of Palm Bay.
The Lord really blessed us with this home, the exact replica of our rented home on Bougainvillea in Palm Bay, God really has a sense of humor!!! I used to tell my husband, I love this house, I don’t want to leave this house. Well, God heard me and gave me the exact same house, the same builder, the same floor plan, and even a big fenced in privacy back yard! Many nice upgrades, and a sprinkler system that is the BOMB! The front yard landscaping is like a page from a magazine! Will have to keep it looking fresh and nice. All the back yard needs is a couple of fruit trees...orange, lemon or lime, and grapefruit(of course).... This was a model home for a short while, and God saved it, for us, brand new, never lived in! A brand new house with full warranty, a home to retire and finish out our lives here on planet earth! The Torrence's have bought a house in Sebastian Florida(I love saying that!) When I think about God and His love and kindness towards His children, I can hardly take it. And less than 7 miles from the Atlantic ocean….
I was raised on the coast of North Carolina, and always wanted to live close to the water again, but the 23 years in Nashville seemed unshakable! But look what the Lord has done….
The beach was nice and breezy, and everyone was having fun…the surfers were out, and we enjoyed looking at them. ha! They were too funny......
We met the most wonderful lady at the beach, so glad we went today. She 's 79 years young and looks great. It was like we've known each other forever. Just started talking and she lives close to us, and will be looking for our house the next time she's on Barber Street, we will check her out on Clearbrook too. Such a wise and caring lady, talked with good sense and respect, talked of family and life with understanding.
She knew we were new to the area and invited us to her church, I just might go, I have seen this church. She didn't seem to mind that we were a bit different looking than she was, just being kind and hospitable. And I said to myself, "what a wonderful world".
I thank God for His favor on the Torrence clan, both now and in times past, and for the good things in the future. For the Word of God says “He gives good gifts to his children”.
Now we continue to love and serve Him, and love and help others as we have opportunity..What a good life He has provided, and a new home on the beach too!!
Blessings
Torrence

Oh the books that could be written of the goodness of God to his children...There wouldn't be enough room in the biggest library in the world...I am happy that God has given concrete evidence that dreams do still come true...I know how much having your own space means to you!!! Tell Bro John, Gilda, Sam and David I said hello!!
Thanks Vic,
You're right "oh the goodness and love of God to His children!"I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.A-men." Jn 21:25b
Yes dreams still come true! God bless you!
