Today I am Loving {115}

When you are on your way to the prayer cabin day, and you're driving down the winding beauty road, and you pass the man who looks like he has been hiking for the last 35 years, walking steadily along the side, and he looks your way to smile and wave, and all feels right with the world.

When you close out the night preparing at your piano, feeling the keys and hearing the sounds, remembering the evening earlier this week when there you were, reading out in the porchlight, and the car pulled in and you heard your name called and you thought it was the friends until the rain started flashing and ran them down the drive, and as they clambered up the steps you discovered to your delighted surprise that instead they were the favorite students, come to drop off the music you had agreed to play, and though they apologized again and again for just the dropping by, you stood in your shorts and bandana'd hair and invited them in, and all was laughter and sweet.

When you make the "oh no, summer is almost over" spontaneous ice cream run with the dear-one-now-neighbor (and you notice you've been eating a lot of summer ice cream for someone who doesn't even really like ice cream all that much), and you talk through all the stuff that has come up since you saw her for the "it's still summer and we can have breakfast" breakfast but you forgot about during the "we need to take advantage of summer!" phone calls through the day.

When the summer twilights are waning,

 so you gather the produce

 and fire up the charcoal

and go out and eat in the yard.

Today I am Loving {114}

When you are back in the swing.

Today I am Loving {113a}

When you're getting in the bed, and He points to the book, and then the chapter in the book, and of course it refers to the promise He's been speaking to you, over and over and over again, just as the pastor friend prayed over you He would.

Today I am Loving {113}

When it is tomato season, and supper is simple.
