Hello Summer!

Summer is my favorite season.  A season of swimming pools and hot pavement under bare feet.

A season of fresh picked berries and grilled food.

A season to play night games in the backyard, go for bike rides and impromptu charcuterie boards.

A season of slowing down to read that summer beach book or gain valuable lessons for life.

Summer is a season of gathering with friends and enjoying tasty treats with a tall glass of lemonade.

This summer, I have yet to be able to gather together with friends and family at church....

But if you look closely, this church is full.

A season of camping and hiking and being in awe of nature's details.

Of flowers, fruit, fresh vegetables and herbs grown in containers on the patio.

A season of double-decker marshmallows,

For an extra ooey-gooey Smore.

This summer has been a season of wearing a face mask to go shopping or get my hair done.

A season of stay-cations and morning coffee on the patio with a fountain gurgling in the backgound.

This summer has been a season of being still and remembering God's promises.
