The
oppressive heat of the Texas summer makes me infinitely appreciative of air
conditioning. When I was young, we slept in front of a fan and kept a wet wash
cloth beside the bed to moisten the skin. When the wind blew over our wet skin,
we were cool. I was so happy that we had fans. While technology provides
endless complications, it brings with it endless advantages. Yes, it's hot, and
it's wonderful that many of us can say, "It's hot; so what!"
Here's a
prayer for those who face oppressive heat in the summer. "May you have
relief from your suffering. May the coolness of spirit bring comfort to your
days and nights, and may you have all the clean water your body needs
today." Take a moment to be thankful for what you have, and then send a blessing
for those who are in need. While it is important to heal ourselves, it is
equally important to remember the plight of others and to also lend our
thoughts and prayers to their well-being. This life is not a Story of
Me; it is a Story of We.
