The fog is lifting and the sun is beginning its glare upon the day. The heat will rise soon as the remnant of summer pleads its case. The last vestige of vegetables lingers in the garden awaiting the harvester’s hand and the fields of green glisten in their pride before the frost to come. The season will surely change, but with it comes its own unique blend of opportunities, some challenging, some graced with the kaleidoscope of nature’s colors that signal yet another change on the horizon. At times, life seems like a river. It meanders through the valleys, flows over the ledge to the pool that waits below, teeming with life. And through its flow, it passes by its banks in each season, giving as much as it takes. Where squeezed, it flows more rapidly to overcome its impediment. It adapts, it changes course, it meanders, it flows, it pools gently, and it runs its course. The stream is fed from the rain above and the springs below. Today I am thankful for the course of this stream that I call life, blessed with the shower of God’s love that bubbles up in my heart of appreciation. Though a squeeze or fall may come, this stream I experience as life will continue its unimpeded flow toward the ocean called eternity. The experience is astounding, the journey magnificent, and today is ours to embrace!
