~ Outdoors, Simple + Southern Sunday, Summer

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ (‭ESV)‬‬

Summer has a way of bringing to mind the growing up years and school days. I suppose a part of that was the excitement of being out of school.

“His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭147‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭75‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A summer sunrise is certainly a wondrous deed, and something to always be thankful for. It is the close of the holiday weekend and I understand today is a very busy travel day. It was estimated that 71 million people would be traveling for the fourth of July, which is why we stayed close to home!READ MORE
