Summer time is....

I know its not officially summer til the end of June, but everyone I know counts Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer.
I love the warmer weather, ice cream that melts if you don't eat it super quick, flowers blooming, Ben and Gabe digging under every rock to collect insects for their insect collection. I love bare feet, boats on the river, festivals every other weekend, movie nights on Magic Island, watching beautiful sunsets at 9 pm, and I love the laughter of children ( my children ) as they race all over the neighborhood playing with friends and making new discoveries.
I love the feeling of running and never wanting to stop, of smelling the honeysuckle on the vines and then teaching my kids to taste the honey. I love swimming in an outdoor pool on a really hot day, and the refreshing feeling as you dive under the water. I love the fully alive feeling of using all 5 senses to fully take in all that is summer. Mmmm

Lord help me to feel alive and enjoy the beautiful world around me and the multitude of blessings you have placed in it.
