Hello Again!

 

Hello Dear Ones!

It’s been awhile. . . 

The summer is winding down, as today we turned the calendar page to August. Next week the area elementary and middle and high schools will begin. Our local college will start a few weeks later. 

My summer job—which is “supposed” to be part time, but well, it’s the type that is many weeks more like full time—has finally drawn to a close. Now I am back to my “usual” part time job, which already this week has felt so much better. Like I had a few moments at home. I assessed a few areas. Made a dent or two. Started up a bit of sewing for an area I volunteer in to help new mothers have what they need for their newborns.

It’s been good.

My summer job was a blessing. Many times I distinctly felt that I was at that very moment exactly where God wanted me to be. Listening to the person who was conversing with me right then. Being His arms as I shared a hug. Privileged to be able to plan a few surprises to help someone out. A grocery store gift card. Passing along a prayer shawl. I have received so many blessings, and I pray that I have been a blessing to those around me.

What was your summer like? Was the pace slow and lazy, as the hot summer days sleepily pass? Or were you—like me—busier than normal? Whatever you were, I hope you felt blessed. And I pray you were exactly where your Creator wanted you to be. 

Until next time, 

Friend
