HAPPY JUNE! From 'A Year In The Now'

JUNE . . . A month to slow down the pace a little.

 

School’s out for the summertime and the livin’ is easy . . .

 

“Consider the lilies, how they do not toil or spin.”

 

 Time to take a vacation from your vocation . . .

 

a rest from your responsibilities . . .

 

a sabbatical from your stress . . .

 

and find that the Kingdom is alive and well on the beach . . .

in the park .

 

down by the creek bank . . .

 

or just in the beauty of your own back yard.

 

The Kingdom is at hand, and Jesus is ready to reveal Himself . . .

 

in the personal peacefulness of a porch swing,

 

or in the corporate communion of a cookout.

 

 Go out and try to count the stars in a summer sky . . .

 

to find, like Abraham, your midsummer’s night dream.

 

Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.  When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.  So also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.”  

(Luke 21:29-31)
