Sunday Selah: Summer's Goodbye

Eccl 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. 

Summer is winding to a close. The evenings are arriving with a chill that can't be ignored. The beaches will soon become a place of solitude. Families rush to take the one last getaway before their mornings become a hurried race against the arrival of the school bus. It's time to squeeze out every bit of summer fun before we reluctantly pull out the fall sweaters.

Before summer wishes us a final farewell, there are a few things we need to do. It's time to enjoy a last trip to the ice cream stand before it closes up for the winter months. Be sure to buy vegetables from a roadside stand. Use the BBQ grill a few more times. One more backyard bonfire should be in the plans.

Before summer leaves us, pause and reflect on the memories.
