From late spring to early summer, I
usually see many houses open their yards for garage sales. Warm weather conditions may make
people want to clean their houses and get more space to relax and breathe more
air. Cleaning up and
organizing are activities
we should never stop throughout our lives, but this is the season when we do
them more.
I think this is the season we need to
clean up our minds and spirits too. This
is the time when we reflect on our past and reconnect our relationships with
people and God that we had not found enough time for during the busy school and
church year.
It seems like the month of July is the
middle of summer, and many people are enjoying their vacations. I will be attending the American Guild
of Organists (AGO) convention in Indianapolis with Miah
on July 12-15 and taking a short vacation after then. I hope I can learn and find some
unique experiences with our fellow church musicians there and enjoy a restful
time with my family during July.
Without emptying a glass, we cannot fill
new wine in. Let us cleanse
our souls and bodies and be ready
to put new energy and ideas in them. We
are God’s children and missionaries to reveal His greatness to the world
indeed!
May God’s blessings be with you during
this summer.
