You bring such a wealth of joy with  summer vegetables, Vacation Bible School, ice cream, June weddings, lighting bugs, freshly cut lawns, hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salads, ice cream, bug bites, boat rides, summer reading lists, family visits, text messages, Instagram posts, graduations, open houses, doctor visits, treatments, grocery shopping, grilling, surgeries, unexpected news, dental visits, blood work, bills, open houses, garage sales, packing, moving trucks, relocation, road trips, gas stations, rest stops,  hotel rooms, fireworks, lunches, church services, prayers, hymns, dinners, breakfast, tears, laughter,  and so goes the list. 

June, you will bring a mix of good and bad news. No matter the circumstances, God is faithful. God will  carry us, sustain us, and provide for us. 😊

Monday Musings... be ready

I admire people who are ready at a moment's notice. Who are those individuals? This list is not exhaustive; police officers, firemen, EMTs,  surgeons, pilots, military personnel, parents, teachers, bus drivers, pastors... 

One never knows what will happen in the future.   One moment, a pastor receives a call that a member of the congregation is in the hospital and needs help.  A teacher will spring into action when a student suddenly collapses in the classroom.  Dinner preparation is going smoothly until there is a kitchen fire. There are endless scenarios where someone needs to be ready.  What about our faith?

If we are people of faith, we need to be ready to share the hope we have in Christ Jesus.  God's Word gives  simple and helpful information.  The challenge, we must be willing to study to be prepared. If we stay ready, we don't have to get ready. 

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this will gentleness and respect.

1 Peter 3:15 NIV

May

 "Oh to have you in May,

To talk with you under the trees, 

Dreaming throughout the day, 

Drinking the wine - like breeze,

Oh it were sweet to think

That May should be ours again, 

Hoping it not, I shrink,

Out of sight of men. 

May brings the flowers to bloom, 

It bring the greens leaves to a tree, 

Ant the fatally sweet perfume,

Of what you once were to me. 

Paul Lawerence Dunbar
