Today is Karen’s birthday! She is 57 years old and even though that is just a number I am so thankful for that number. Her life means so much to me because she is a light and joy in mine. Happy birthday My Love.
I often think about how important life is and unimportant we treat it sometimes. We drive too fast and recklessly, to what end? To save a few seconds on our way and stress other drivers and pedestrians out and possibly hurt children, pets, elderly and disabled people who cannot or don’t know to watch out… Some of us abuse the emergency room instead of getting a primary doctor to help us with our medical issues before they require a hospital visit. Some of resort to violence when understanding and good communication could take us much farther. Many of us find more value in money and things than actual people. This makes my heart feel so heavy.
Life is so important. People are so important. You are vital to someone’s existence, even if they forgot to tell you. I encourage you to put as much love in your tasks as you can. Love the people around you. Talk to them. If you are too angry, take a walk or a nap and try again. Words are nothing without actions. Love is a verb. If we stop choosing anger and start choosing growth, honesty, communication and love we will be so much happier.
I love you Karen! You have shown me things I have been trying to learn all my life. I love sharing life with you!

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven.
Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this:
Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world.
I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me.
I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
