May the deep reds of summer delight your senses as well as your soul. May the fruits, the flowers, and the freedom remind you of God’s provision, attention, and care. As you eat the tomatoes and berries, gaze at soft petals and blazing sunsets, see His handprint in the glory of creation. Then hear the whispered promise, the one that says He’s tucked his image into the depths of your soul.
