Sacramental Summer

Apologizing once again...but summer days are fleeting and I want to spend the time enjoying them. So blogging is being back-burnered a bit and I should think reading blogs should be back-burnered a bit for all of you! Go out and stand in the sunshine or the rain or the lake. Take a deep breath. Breathe out a praise to the Lord who knows we need seasons to come and go and kick us out of the ruts of routine that we tend to stick the plow of our lives in.

"Nature to a saint is sacramental. If we are children of God, we have a tremendous treasure in Nature. In every wind that blows, in every night and day of the year, in every sign of the sky, in every blossoming and in every withering of the earth, there is a real coming of God to us if we will simply use our starved imagination to realize it."
~Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Go out and feed your imagination.
