Reflection

“Summer has a flavor like no other. Always fresh and simmered in sunshine.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

Prayer

God of the seasons,

As we approach the final days of summer, lead us to cherish all the sweetness that summer brings: sunshine and ice cream, family vacations with food on the grill, the gift of good times together through the long hours of daylight.  Although these events will soon become memories, help us to remember the joy and happiness they gave us, that we might carry that joy into the coming season of Fall. You send us so many simple, yet wonderful, gifts, which are well worth remembering.  In gratitude and praise, we pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Take a reflective moment today and remember one of my best memories of this summer.  Write it down so I can come back to it during a hard day in winter.
