It is no wonder why Christ choose to spend most of his ministry right here
on the shores of Galilee.
It is beautiful!
We are housed in little bungalow houses in a Jewish Kibbutz located right on the beach. We have a great view of the Sea and I made sure to be on the shore every evening for sunset. 
One of my favorite memories is sitting on the beach, at sunset, reading from the New Testament.
My first evening while reading, I read that at the beginning of Christ’s ministry he was surrounding by throngs of people who sought his teachings and his healing. I am sure that he was kept busy all day long and probably exhausted as I have felt recently. Despite this, Mark records, “and in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place and there prayed” Mark 1:35 I really loved this and thought: I need to do this. As busy as I get and no matter what is going on I want to always take time out to find a solitary place to pray. No matter what.
I found many moments for quiet meditation on the shores of galilee - moments I will always remember.
