This AM I went to the 21-days of Prayer at Church of the Highlands. During the individual prayer time, I decided to step out of the cold, cold air conditioning. To my surprise, it was NICE and quite cool. In my shorts and tee shirt, I was chilly! Oh joy of joy! Somehow I had traveled from home to the building without appreciating the nice coolness of the early, early AM.
And, I note that we take so much for granted. So many blessings go largely unnoticed. I had missed what should have stood out. But, thanks be to G^d, I finally recognized the Blessing of the cool.
When I got home I mentioned to Brenda that we ought to step outside for our morning coffee. We have a lovely side porch that sees nothing but trees, but the summer has been so hot that we have scarcely used it. But, this morning I cut off the ceiling fan out there; otherwise it was too cold! And, this is August 24th!
The summers here are hot, hot, hot, and I should mention also they are humid, humid, humid. Ah yes, but the springs and falls are long and extremely pleasant. Couple those with a short and mild winter, and you have a climate which is quite appealing to us old folk.
In another 4 weeks the fall season will come and the heat will flee. The leaves will turn and the geese will head north (at least most of them). Praise the L^rd for the seasons, and for His faithfulness. I hope I don't take it for granted.
How about you? What Blessings are you missing?
