Dappled Shade in Summer’s Breeze

Preparing to bid farewell to August, I have a longing in my heart.
One week from the Hebrew month of Elul and the beginning of Teshuvah. The season of repentance and introspection.

My heart longs, does yours? Familiar draw, I cannot imagine all the Lord has for those who love Him.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10

10) These things God has revealed to us by His Spirit.

Like hunger that cannot be satisfied, thirst the world cannot quench; an expectation and desire with no words; a promise in the making; faith that knows waits patiently.

A settled calm like dappled shade, in summer breeze.

My husband (master electrician) working with live power in an attic. the shadow cast tells the entire story!

Dappled Shade

Dappled shade
Summer’s breeze
Simple reminder
Falling leaves

Fall is close
Soul recognition
Simple sights
Seasonal condition

Dappled shade
Visitation ahead
Awake oh sleeper
Do not be misled

Come away with Me
Tender welcome call
Why oh why do I sense it
Nearing into Fall

We wait expectantly for rain.

Israel believed that as surely as seasonal rains revived the earth, God’s favor would return and restore her. I beleive this promise is for Israel and America also.

“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.

Until next time, thanks for listening with me.

Blessings, laurette
