Kids in the park, the sun high overhead, popsicles, ice cream cones, swimming pools and sprinklers; signs of summertime in full swing. Summertime brings on a wave of assorted emotions like happiness, joy, freedom, exhaustion, exhilaration and renewal. It is a time when many stop and take time to get away from the grind of every day life and restore themselves; even if only for a short period of time. It is a time of inventory and preparation for what lies ahead.
The summer sun can be draining. It can suck the life out of the greenery in our lawns and flower beds. They need the refreshment and nutrition of water to
maintain life. But it has to be done over and over again on a daily basis to accomplish its purpose. Christ offers us something more; Living Water. "Whoever drinks of the water I am giving will never thirst." Fulfillment and nourishment that lasts. That is something to write home about. He will bear your burden, He will carry your load, and He will sustain and provide. All we have to do is let Him in and accept His gift of grace. May the Peace of God; the peace that can only come from a saving knowledge of the Son of God; grant us respite today and every day to come.
