Good Thursday Morning! Oh my goodness, what a day we had yesterday!
It was magical with cooler temperatures. Monday was nice; Tuesday the warmth backed up over us; Wednesday was cool; Thursday is here.
We don't have lots of trees that change the colors of their leaves. The Crepe Myrtle has a few different colors on it but most of our trees just drop all their leaves.
Fall is a time between Hot and Cold. And while temperatures drop below 100°, we will have days of 90's and days of 70's or somewhere inbetween... back and forth.
Fall is about College Football and Pumpkin Spice for me. But right now, we are giving thanks for cooler temperatures while praying for RAIN!
“There is little you can do to stop a tornado, a hurricane, or a cancer diagnosis from changing your life in an instant.” – Ted Lieu ~ “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 NIV
"In the center of a hurricane there is absolute peace and quiet. There is no safer place than in the center of the will of God"Corrie Ten Boom
Don’t let the grass grow on the path of friendship.
Native American Proverb (Blackfoot)
Brief Analysis
Friendship is a delicate flower that requires constant care and attention. It is a bond that can bring warmth, joy, and comfort to our lives, but it can also wither away if we neglect it.
Picture a path running through a field, with grass growing tall on either side. Now imagine that this path represents your friendship. The grass will eventually overtake the path if you don’t walk along it often enough.
The same applies to friendships – if we neglect them for too long, they can become overgrown with distance and indifference.
So, let’s not allow the grass to grow on the path of friendship. Let’s tend to it with care and attention, and watch it grow and blossom.
