Summer is for Wonder

5/9/2016

            I have always liked May. Maybe it is because our school year usually finished up in May and I could not wait for summer vacation to begin. Maybe it is because the weather begins to warm up and turn into the warmer summer months. Maybe I like May so much because it is the month when I was born. Probably, though, it is the month in which I prepare myself to get out in nature and have some fun on God’s turf.
            This time of year helps us gear up for the work of warmer months, plan for summer vacation, and get ready for all sorts of summer fun. I hope to get some good fishing in the next couple of months and if anyone wants to hike the Missions with me I am always looking for company.
            I hope this summer, as I hope every summer, that you might use the opportunity that nicer weather provides to encounter God in His creation. There is a beautiful world around us, especially here in western Montana, and it all has its source in our God who loves us. Every rock, mountain flower, tamarack tree, and mountain stream flows from God’s abundance. I am sure that most of you live daily recognizing that God is the source of all life, but it is powerful to take a walk through the woods and be immersed in the creative work of the divine. Whatever your plans may be for the summer months, I hope they include regularly seeking God in the wonderful world that God has made.

Whatever season may it be, it was created for us by God so we can appreciate all of it. But I have to be bias because summer season has to be my favorite too. One of the reasons why I love summer season is because of the fact that I can do everything that I want to do. There is no hindrance for me not to do things that I want to do that involves my job. I can be myself and I can be the person that I was when I was young. Everything you said was on point!
