These summer days are both mirrors of previous times, and yet the combination of all the parts makes each year stand out in a particular manner as we look back so that we might look forward through the memories of each layer of reflections as a foundation of God's faithfulness in leading us ahead. We see with new eyes that which was once familiar and common. Because of our history with God we may anticipate special moments as a surprise, knowing only that nothing is wasted in the economy of God. It is hard to hear the silence in this season; nature awakens us with treetop choruses, of an evening the nightbirds sing and the cicadas make repetitive callings while the owls cry and the coyote howls pierce the evening with a chill sound. Clouds build into massive columns and lightning divides the heavens with flashes of purple light. We must step aside and listen. Ponder. Reflect upon what we know to be true of God. We must tell Him what He is to us Season upon season arrives with unique presentation of the almighty power of God.
