Positively August

The feverish heat of the August sun bellows down from the clear West Texas sky.  The noise of the locusts can be heard all around.  The mesquite trees, oak trees, and pecan trees come alive from their sounds as the sun’s intense heat gives no sign of relief. 

But on this particular early Saturday morning, the locusts are quiet.  Some welcomed clouds and a slight breeze is showing the promise of a good morning.  The birds can be heard simultaneously singing their familiar songs.  Are they communicating, rejoicing, or just feeling happy?  Whatever the case may be, they appear to be content.   Who wouldn’t be content -- flying freely through the sky, soaring from place to place?  But for me, a nice walk will have to do. 

My favorite place to walk is through the lily garden.  The lilies are in full bloom.  Their colors are so radiant.  What a great way to spend a Saturday morning – if only for a bit!  It’s good to see God’s nature at work.  It helps me put my life in perspective.
