No, this is not a list of things you should/must do before summer is over. It’s a list of summer things to enjoy with gratitude. When was the last time you thanked God for:
Warm weather
Extra daylight
The pleasure of an unexpected cool breeze
Air conditioning on those really hot days
Cold water – for drinking or for cooling your face or feet
Butterflies in the garden
Hummingbirds at the feeders
Baby birds and animals thrilled with the wonder of life
Sunshine
Hundreds of shades of green
Riots of bright color – flowers, clothing, sunsets, etc.
Fruit – it’s way cheaper in the summer
Lemonade. Iced tea. Iced coffee!
Blue skies with fluffy clouds
Popsicles
Ice cream!
The scent of flowers
The sound of crickets
And so very, very much more …
Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord! How good you are! Your love for us continues on forever. Who can ever list the glorious miracles of God? Who can ever praise him half enough? Psalm 106:1-2 Living Bible
