Walking today on the watercourse-riven flat lands south of Snaith. Every route that ought to be straightforward takes an unexpected turn to cross a river or canal. The weather is not hot today, and will be tomorrow. But even today was a thirsty experience. Tomorrow is shorter, but we’ll need plenty of water nevertheless.
As for the lectionary, striving with God… Would you do it? Maybe sometimes you have to.
Creator God, we thank you for the sun,
that beautiful, bright, warm, generous
part of creation.
And God protect us
from too much of a good thing.
