"Knowing is Growing" Happy Summer !

Welcome to the growing season!
June
Many things are now complete, graduations,
moving up ceremonies, recitals and rites of passages,
all of which point to new beginnings.

Summer
The door or passageway to new things.
Projects that waited all winter.
A garden perhaps that "grew" as idea all winter long.

There is something to how, when you plant a seed, God changes
the nature of that seed so that it becomes a plant.
It is the power of God that surges into that tender young plant,
pushing it upward. Strengthening it till it stands on its own.

I may not be the gardener as many of you might be,
but I love to cook . . .
Growing season is a time for us to redirect our energy.
Let's take time to "grow" ourselves.

Here is a nice way to put a little snap in your lemonade
straight from the garden. I saw this in Martha Stewart.
Blackberry Sage Lemonade
Your "favorite" Lemonade
(just before serving)
add
1/2 cup blackberries
4 "cracked" sage leaves (more if you like)
Pour over ice, serve and enjoy!


2 Peter 3:18a
. . . but grow in the grace and knowledge
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be the glory both now and forever.
Amen.
