"My beloved spoke and said to me,
'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
come with me.
See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.'”
Song of Solomon 2:10-14 (NLT)
It's summer!
The flowers are popping,
the fruit is ripening,
the fountains are flowing,
the outside lights are hung in celebration.
Even the old, tired fence looks happy to see
the sun, the warm air and the pinks and purples of summer blooms.
And the shyest of our feathered friends peeked out from behind the leaves - even though I did have to shoot through the screen to capture her.
May your weekend be full of light and laughter,
time with family or friends,
and time to sit alone in the afternoon breeze.
God is good, all the time.
But somehow, on a fair summer's day,
God seems even good-er than usual.
Joining up with Michelle, Sandy and Deidra for their invitations to celebrate
the weekends with a small space of quiet and color.
