Last Day In August…

Can you feel the change? The mornings are a bit crisp and it’s been taking a little longer for the sun to warm up the shady spots. Sir Fall is gently knocking on the door as it’s about his shift. Summer’s duties are almost over and she is ready for her period of slumber.

Season’s, the passing of time; God’s gigantic clock.

We are drifting into Autumn, the leaves are starting to do their beautiful dance of transformation from startling greens to hues of amber, red and golds. It’s back to school time, the smell of your school supplies, all perfect with not a mark on them, your back to school clothes and the major decision of what to wear the first day. What to wear? Fall is tricky as he starts off a bit cool and detached but ends up warm and friendly…fall is layers, sweatshirts, football and walking in the leaves that lay scattered about.

Old Man Winter, his name even sounds grouchy and most of the time he is. He can be a cold customer to deal with and you better show up prepared because he has no conscience nor mercy within his elements. He is often the most beautiful though; with his coat of crystal white adorned with shades of blue and prism that sneak out and join the rays of sunshine still brave enough to shine in the sky. Cold winter however does bring warm thoughts of fires in fireplaces, warm snuggly blankets, hot chocolate and Christmas; the joy, colors, music and magic that is all wrapped up in shiny paper adorned with a big red bows…The Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Greatest gift ever given!!!

From our winter slumber, we Spring into action. The world is waking up. The blanket of snow and ice are melting away as the sun is gearing up for her debut. Flowers of every glorious pastel color imaginable, start popping up from their under ground beds and are stretching and waving at the sun. Spring to me is Easter…another ressurection. He arouse from the dead, beating death, so we may have life. 1 Corinthians 15:4 NCV “that he was buried and was raised to life on the third day as the scriptures say.” Within him, we are saved!

And here we are, another circle, another year as we are back to summer. She is rested and ready to shine her heart out so we can splash and play in her warmth. Enjoy nature’s sounds, smells and beauty. Share our yard happily with the buzz of the bumblebees, the flutter of the hummingbirds and the floating waltz of the butterflies. To feel the warmth of God’s Love shinning down on you from his heavens. Oh the glorious days of summer, I’m not ready to give you up yet!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NCV. “There is a time for everything and everything on Earth has its special season. There is a time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to pull up plants. There is a time to kill and a time to heal. There is a time to destroy and a time to build. There is a time to cry and a time to laugh. There is a time to be sad and a time to dance. There is a time to throw away stones and a time to gather them. There is a time to hug and a time to not hug. There is a time to look for something and a time to stop looking for it. There is a time to keep things and a time to throw things away. There is time to tear apart and a time to be together. There is a time to be silent and a time to speak. There is a time to love and a time to hate. There is a time for war and a time for peace.”

So whatever place you are in right now, whatever the season within your world, you are not alone. Jesus is with you whether you are fighting the frigid cold slap of reality, having a hot flash surge and your body and emotions are in tornado season or whether you are in a blessed season and are enjoying that fruity drink poolside…he is with you…Always!!! Enjoy your day whatever the weather outside you can always make it a sunny day inside. Be Blessed today and as always, thank you for joining me 🥰
