Changing seasons

Is summer on the way out and fall on its way?  I certainly hope not, because I have enjoyed these wonderful, warm days. I love it that the flowers are still in all their glory and I can sit outside soaking up the fresh air and sunshine.  It is also a great feeling to not have to put on a jacket or sweater when you leave the house and sandals are still the order of the day.  Yes, I do love summer and that song that states so amply: "I love those lazy, hazy, days of summer"  Perhaps it is because winter seems to last so very long in Wyoming and often extends until the end of May.  I didn't forget about fall, football games, hot chocolate, turning leaves and the crisp air in the morning which I really like too, however there is just something about summer that relaxes me and refreshes. Nothing lasts forever and I thank God for giving us these past months of warm, wonderful weather. What is your favorite season?  The Lord knows us inside and out and the changing seasons help us not to get bored, but to be ready for the challenges they offer.  So, Lord God I thank you for the Fall Season  that is about to usher in and also Winter that will be close behind it.  Help me to be like the changing seasons and not insist on staying the same.
