Welcome to Spiritual Journey Thursday!
I am the host of Spiritual Journey Thursday this month.
The topic I pose deals with rejoicing in the summer season.
What better time to find joy than on a summer day? The earth is alive even on days when rain splashes across the pavement or sends torrents of raindrops. There is a feeling of positivity and wonder in the summertime. Blooming flowers and herbs offer a beautiful scenario each day. There is more leisure time to enjoy favorite pastimes, such as gardening, crafting, writing, and reading. Pause to think about the beautiful inspirational quote by Eleanor Duse.
“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the field has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.”
Rejoice in Mother Earth
Summertime brings joy
when a light breeze floats through
a bright sky like ripples of water
or rain splashes across the pavement.
Lift your eyes to see
the majesty of the earth.
Rejoice!

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. Let all creation rejoice before the Lord. -Psalms 96:11-13
Summertime automatically allows us to rejoice in the beauty of earth.
Pause and praise God for His wondrous gifts!
What are you rejoicing over this summer?
I look forward to reading the Spiritual Journey community's posts this month. Please add your Spiritual Journey Thursday post below.
