As we settle into summer, the Morning Glories have reappeared in our garden, seeking a stage to climb. On occasion, we gently redirect their growth to a trellis along the garden fence. Once in touch with the support they need, they know how to continue their ascent to thrive in the light. It is their nature to flourish above the ground. In a way, the trellis and vine become inseparable.

He ended the message with, "I miss those summer days." I thought about this as reflected on Jesus’ words, "...you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned, you have revealed them to the childlike."

Families need time together to function at their best and to feel close and connected. Sometimes, because life moves at such a rapid pace, we end up trying to fit all those moments into holidays and vacations. But deep down we know we need more. We need connection with each other and with God every day to be our best.

The other day I went running at 6 am. It was a beautiful summer morning. The sun had just risen and the birds were singing as I was passing through a green field. GLORIOUS! I knew I was surrounded by the presence of the Lord.
