Just the Right Night

Tonight was just the right evening. You know when the air lazily hangs in the air and the setting sun paints the sky a beautiful violet. The bugs are chirping in the distance and the air has a certain quality to it. Remember the carefree summer evenings laying out on the lawn sucking down Popsicles without anything to think about other than the immediate moment? That was what tonight felt like. Tonight felt like the essence of summer, the essence of childhood. Are we ever afforded the luxury to feel this unburdened by the pressures of life? Has that time passed into fading memory like past summers of long ago? I think that sometimes, we have to rest in the peace of God's care and be as children again. Life passes too quickly. Let's learn to enjoy it, before the summer days disappear.
