Appreciation

I love when summer is about to break. You still have the rain and the cool breezes of spring. Nurturing in and strengthening growth, but the heat has not quite hit. The birds are chirping, and you can just put your feet in the grass and take it all in. That you are just a small piece of all the beauty God created. You can just sit back and take in a deep breath being reminded that things are awakening. Winter is behind you once again and life is regenerating in the earth.

May is the month that you see the results of April's rain. I get to put my hands in the dirt. Let the indoor plants out for a while to experience everything God intended for them. There is something relaxing about this time. Of course, I am able to get back outside to exercise and do my yoga but there is just a peace in the air.

It brings our playful nature out. The kids return outside, and laughter feels the air again. Barbeques begin and people begin to commune with each other once again. The sun begins to break through the clouds and shine on us and everything else God created. It just brings me to another transition of awe in who God is.

That we are never stuck in a season, even though sometimes it feels like it will never pass. The season will pass the warmth will return. We can open up our windows again and let the smooth breeze flow through the house. Cleaning out all the stuffy and stale air. Bringing in a freshness that you can breathe deeply again. I appreciate the very detail you put in everything you do God.
