| Did you know that August is considered the month for harvest? Many of our favorite foods are harvested this time of year, and just in time for summer cookouts. For instance, foods like squash, corn, cucumbers, blackberries, basil, okra, peppers, green beans, and eggplant are all harvested in August. Can you imagine how much love and care goes into growing these August foods so that they are satisfying and delicious? Now that August has arrived, this is a suitable time to remind ourselves of our connection to the earth and the opportunity we have to connect more intimately with each other and God. Summertime allows us to connect with each other in ways that are nurturing, relaxing, and comforting. While the days may be hotter than usual, along with the unpredictable rainy days, the hope of feeling connected to those around us and knowing that people care, helps us to welcome each new day with open arms. This August, may we find ways to grow our relationships with each other in ways that are deeply satisfying and encouraging. Blessings, |
