Good morning friends.
I feel like we’re in the 9th inning stretch of summer. I’m excited that the Toronto Blue Jays are having their first game back home today. I’m excited that it’s a little cooler – for the sake of a less sweaty workout. I’m excited that there are only 2 sleeps left until vacation.
I wonder what you’re doing this summer for vacation? Are you getting away? Are you doing a stay-cation? Are you doing what you normally do – work, cottage, etc.? In the month of August, I encourage you to try/do something just a little different to shake things up. It could be taking a drive to somewhere you haven’t been (or haven’t been to in quite a while), or visiting someone you haven’t seen (safely), learning something new or more…
A prayer for us today:
God of all, embrace us in this summer. Embrace our restfulness, playfulness, busyness, restlessness or however we are. Embrace our moods as they vary through the experiences of the day and help us to be kind and good to ourselves and to one another. God of all, keep us safe as we travel, as we explore, and as we may try new things. May those who are suffering feel you comforting them, those who are lonely feel you supporting them, and those who are tired feel you holding them. And God, if COVID can end so things can be back to normal in September, that’d be great. We’re just gonna throw that out there…. Be with us this day and all our days. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
