Today was a day when God's creation shined on us all with some beautiful weather and bright sunshine - a taste of summertime! I pray that you all had a chance to enjoy the day that God gave to us. As the evening shadows lengthen and we all take time to settle back and relax, I pray that you find at least one blessing to thank God for this evening. Take some time to relax in the safety of our Lord's love and experience that love to fall more deeply into a trusting relationship with the Lord. God loves each and every one of us more that we can ever imagine or hope for. Live into that truth and find a way to show that truth to someone else. May your time of rest be full of the peace that passes all understanding. And may you wake tomorrow to the bright promise of the new day that God will give to us so that we might live in His love and grace.
