Dear Reader:
I am drawn to any nature scene where sunlight ripples through it… like a moth is drawn to light. I was out in the yard on Labor Day picking up some light debris when I saw the sunshine cascading on this section of the yard and it looked so inviting….I had to freeze the moment in a photo.
Nature is just so beautiful…it is like God provided everything He could to make us feel loved and secure in His Creation. Every single detail of each human, animal, and plant specimen is planned down to the minutest particular. Life is really mind-boggling.
And now for our last three Erma Bombeck quotes of the week:
*Grandmas defy description. They really do. They occupy such a unique place in the life of a child. They can shed the yoke of responsibility, relax, and enjoy their grandchildren in a way that was not possible when they were raising their own children. And they can glow in the realization that here is their seed of life that will harvest generations to come!
*I remember thinking how often we look, but never see … we listen, but never hear … we exist, but never feel. We take our relationships for granted. A house is only a place. It has no life of its own. It needs human voices, activity and laughter to come alive.
*There were really only two men I knew who ever got a laugh out of paying their income taxes. One was cheating the government and getting away with it. The other had a sick sense of humor and would probably have set up a concession stand at the Boston Tea Party and sold sugar cubes and lemon slices.
So until tomorrow….I am transitioning from the beach back to my home and garden. It always takes a little while to acclimate back to the quiet and solitude….but then I cherish the time to converse with God and catch up.
