Sea Shells

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Titus 2:14

Right-handed Shells

• Most shells are right-handed. That means they twist in a clockwise direction when viewed from the top.

When you hold a shell with its opening facing you and with the

pointed end at the top, the opening is almost always on the right.

The odds of finding a left-handed representative of a right-handed family

are about one in a million.

The lightning whelkshell is the onlywhelk shell thatopens on the

left.

Of course, it is not true that bivalves can open on the right or left.

They just open!

And snails carry their

shells on their backs.

The very hairs of your head are numbered.

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are

of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:70

And before you were born, Jesus knew all about you.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified

thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5)

You are very special to him. There is no one else just like you!
