Is Your Soul Waterlogged and in Need of Sun?

In May we are reminded just how busy and hectic life can be.  Our calendars get packed with end of the school year events, graduations , tournaments,  music events, etc. You name it, it seems to happen in May, right?  And now with summer here in full swing calendars can get filled with a whole other set of activities.

At times I wonder if our life or soul is waterlogged- filled and weighed down with the pressure that attends so much going on in our life.  In the middle of all the activities we may start feeling exhausted or lethargic.

Thanks be to God the sun does come out and drys things out.  The sun comes out and its warm leads the moisture to evaporate.  This is what can happen in our lives, when we are tensed up and burdened with heavy schedules.

Spiritually speaking the Lord our God who sent Jesus to this world has the power to dry out waterlogged lives. Jesus gives us the gift of grace that lighten our loads, free us from our burdens, and bring us into a place of peace.

This summer, my hope and prayer is that, yes, the sun will shine. And, that your life of faith will experience renewal and grace.
