God – As I rest and relax from where I labor, I thank You for the summer season. For in the months of June, July and August I strive for vacations and for my walk of faith to be at a slower pace. To be with those I love. To enjoy the sound of surf and wave. To dwell at peace beneath the canopy of forest green. To garden and grow flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis and strawberries. To hold hands and make memories with those I love.

God, Creator of the Earth, thank You for the blessed opportunity to enjoy longer days. Please help me pray to You every summer day no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Last, thank You, my Lord, for never taking a vacation from me. It is comforting to know that You are always with me wherever I go. Knowing that, my heart can sing, dance and play in the warmth of the summer sun as I bask in the light of Your love for me.  Amen
