of spring- a new song begins to resonate as the locusts emerge from their shells, leaving them for little fingers to find and wonder over. The heat of summer brings splashes of joy from pools and lakes. Garden hoses once scurried from, now provide reprieve from the sweltering heat. Water balloons and blackberry cobblers fill our days with pleasures fit for Kings. Our chins covered with the overflow of juice from perfectly ripened peaches, send our taste buds to the moon. The night sky explodes with fire as we celebrate the brave and fearless acts that those who like us, experienced all the blessings above and fought to secure our right to experience the same. The patriots whose hand goes to their brow-or over their heart as they stand in reverence, in respect, and awe.

Old glory is excitedly hung on display a symbol of unity, of sacrifice, honor, and faith. These blessings the Good Lord put into motion for our good are rare treasures. We are rich in witnessing them and being woven into the fabric of this life song season we are blessed to have. We don't get to pick the number of days, weeks, or years, but we do get to pick how we will live among the created and reflect light, life and truth. The outside world would like to taint our view and steal the very miracles happening around us everyday. That tactic is as old as time itself. It comes in this season as no surprise, yet my view is focused on the life around me. The smiles, hearts and hurts that walk this beautiful path alongside me. Enriching its beauty with their presence, love and hope.

not know or understand in the current season or the ones to come. Yet as I sit and consider my view I am again in awe. Mesmerized by the brilliance of His beauty, his plan and creation. My view is directed by the one who holds tomorrow- this is where I will focus and serve from. This view gives strength to the powerless and rest to the weak. It gives Hope of new life, new beginnings, and the promise of steadfast repetition. It is amazing where the view from my sliding glass door can take me. How it enriches me and fills me with Joy and Hope. It strengthens and prepares, it entices and reminds. It refines and fulfills. I hope you are refreshed by our journey and view. I pray it strengthens and encourages you as together we walk in his beautiful view. - Gerri
