We’re smack in the middle of summer but I will pause and count my blessings this season. Our arid Arizona days have turned into monsoon rains and we are refreshed. Triple digits are put on hold for a while and cooler desert mornings allow me longer hours of yard work, especially after the messy, wild storms. We’ve always grown hollyhocks, but for some reason, they went dormant the last two years. I remember Tom on his sickbed reminding me to water the seeds he planted near the fence and, like a crazy lady, I watered what seemed like empty dirt all last year. Was he confused, maybe? Come spring I saw the fluffy, green leaves sprout all along the fence line. I got excited when the different colored flowers opened. You never know what you're going to get! As I watered, I thought of the Scripture verse about “calling forth that which is not as though it was.” Hmm, I should apply that one to several areas of my life! I spent last week with family in Tucson.
I haven't seen this before. A great thought provoking post. I prefer to have God in my life. BIG smile here.

Hi Saleslady. I think it's cute that I didn't know your name until the day I met you. LOL
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know I just passed an award on to you and the other ladies we had lunch with at Gooseberries.

I've never seen the days of the week written in that way. It surely makes sense. Happy Spiritual Sunday!
