Reflection

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”  ~Henry James

Prayer

God of the Seasons,

Summer is upon us, where the grass is green, children are playing outside, flowers are budding, bees are buzzing, and life seems to go just a little bit slower. Help us to take time to enjoy these summer days, spending them with family and friends, and knowing that your love for us surrounds us like the summer sun.  Summer has always been a special time to get rejuvenated and find joy in your creation of the outdoors.  Guide us to spend these days wisely, and to be refreshed in your spirit.  We ask this in love, Amen.

Call to Action

Take some time this weekend to plan a special outing this summer to get rejuvenated in joy and love.
