We've been cruising this lake for over 20 years now, but each and every first "official" ride of summer it all looks brand new again! The trees that not so long ago were bare of leaves are now lush and green and the pastures and lawns surrounding the lake are no longer brown and dormant.
There is a familiar, sweet floral scent wafting through the air. I breathe deeply from my seat on the boat and start scanning to find the source. There it is! Oh, yes, a mimosa tree. Why do I forget each year how wonderful is that fragrance and how short the time to enjoy it?
It's going to be a spectacular season! I don't mean the boating season, though it is sure to be lots of fun. A new season of life has begun for me and my hopes are extraordinarily high. God is calling me into new territories and a closer walk with Him.
The season is brand new. It is fresh. It is exciting, challenging and difficult. But, I look forward to it and to seeing how God will change the familiar and the dormant into something spectacular and memorable.
Be love and be blessed,
LIKE ALWAYS A NICE READ. YOU ARE VERY TALENTED WITH PUTTING WORDS TOGETHER AND HOW YOU DESCRIBE THINGS ALMOST LIKE WE ARE THERE EXPERIENCING IT WITH YOU! I HOPE GOD OPENS ALOT OF EXCITING NEW TERRITORY FOR YOU AND BLESSES YOU WITH NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS IN THE NEW JOURNEY THAT LIES AHEAD....REMEMBER EVERY STEP YOU TAKE SOMEONE ELSE HAS WALKED THERE. SO MAKE THEM COUNT BECAUSE YOU ARE REPLACING THEIR FOOTPRINT WITH YOURS AND YOU MUST MAKE IT COUNT.
