Here it is just another lazy summer day, in July. This is usually the time for me to regenerate, to sit back and reflect on my place in the world; not to stop building. Even at times like these, when we are not facing a strong headwind, we need to maintain our stride because the race is not over for us yet. At this point I almost feel as though I am just gliding downhill, without the usual push to succeed or to produce some final product.
As I look ahead I realize that other mountains are awaiting me and the challenges of tomorrow may be even greater than those I have faced in the past. I look forward with faith that I am not alone. The struggles that are in front of me will not overwhelm me, if I rely on the one who has promised to always be there; Jesus. He never promised that life would be easy, just that he would never leave me. Hebrews 13:5b- “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you”.
Summer is a wonderful time of year. Days filled with sunshine, green plants, and life all around us. This is one of my favorite times during the year. Now that I am expecting a new grandson to be born next month, it has become even a more exciting time for me. [The attached picture is of my three daughters; Allison is expecting a boy in August.] God has blessed my life, and filled it with great joy. I am extremely thankful.
