The
cold front from Canada arrived as predicted, and temperatures plummeted on cue.
Yesterday we perspired in tank tops, working to the harmonies of robin chirps
and red-tailed hawk cries; today we shivered in winter coats, working to the tune
of the howling wind. Yesterday we guzzled glasses of iced tea; today we sipped mugs
of steaming tea and made a pot of vegetable soup. Yesterday the animals napped
in the shade; today they searched for sunshine—all except for the cat, who gave
up tiger-in-the-jungle practice in favor of hibernation on the bed.
The
local meteorologists, who’ve probably been bored silly all summer, with nothing
to forecast but heat and red flag warnings for four months, are happily
projecting snow on Friday! Ahem. Haven’t we forgotten something? I
think we skipped a season!
“Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is
characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable,
overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold
the next, not two-faced.” –JAMES 3:17
