I love summer…except for the things that bug me like the smell of fresh-cut grass – it makes me sneeze. And whopping bugs and swatting flies is a bit annoying. I seem to be the only one in our family with a multitude of misquotes bites! Why didn’t Noah swat those darn mosquitoes on the ark! Muggy, humid weather is no picnic, either, especially when you have asthma; and speaking of picnics – I loved those minus the ants that seem to come with picnicking. I wonder why God created ants. I think it was to annoy mankind.
I do enjoy sitting out on my deck…in spite of the fact that it seems to rain every other day but, hey – its summer and I do love summer. I love those warm summer breezes, but the monsoon winds are another story. God never promised us a rose garden along with the sunshine comes a little rain sometimes.
Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart I have overcome the world.” John16:33. With everything that Christ had to overcome in his life time, I can put up with a few bugs, ants, and muggy rainy weather invading my summer. When we are bugged by the troubles of this world God gives us His Word and fortifies us with His strength.
