Summer has only a few short weeks left in 2022.
School has started.
Some of the wildflowers are looking like fall.
The morning temperatures are cooler. I don a sweatshirt before going to our deck with my coffee, Bible, and journal.

And Echoes of Grace wants to rest in these changes for two more weeks.

After four wonderful days with many long-time friends at a Navigator conference, this morning even my journal was too heavy to pick up. I added some fall color to our deck flowers, and then …

I sat.
I listened to the breeze travel through the Aspens.
I listened to the birds chattering.
I was captured by my simple view.
I drank coffee, its aroma mingling with fall smells.
I enjoyed.
It was good!

Quiet + Beauty + Solitude = the need of the hour.

And I made a decision – Echoes of Grace needed to extend its summer vacation until September 15. It will return in two weeks.

A familiar truth with a new application:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5 and 6

Till September 15, blessings to you!
