"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and
winter, day and night will never cease." (Genesis 8:22)
Usually in summer, Mami would have a pool ready by late May. We would’ve stayed up late, and many things would follow. We’d go to many places around the island (or outside, like when we went to Florida in 2006 and 2008), and Papi would put up fights on Pay-Per-View on Saturdays. Like in Christmas, the kitchen would never be alone, not on weekends! The sun would shine as early as 5:00 am and as late as 8:00 pm. This would be my summer, amongst other things.
Unfortunately, this has not been the case. This summer has been marked by waiting, and waiting, and waiting. We haven’t done something more interesting, rather than eating, watching TV, going to the local store, to the computer, staying up late, going to church, and sleeping. I haven’t left the town in a month! Boy, am I desperate!
Well, it has played off, you know! Every day, we are now closer and closer to see my father back, and to go to America for the third (and first) time. We’re seeing a light, and it’s getting brighter every time we see it. With a house, with furniture, what remains is to see my dad’s hug again for the first time in months. Oh, what beautiful hope!
I know that the only thing that I talk about this blog is about grace and nothing more. And (as I said), it’s not only about the privilege of going to live to the most powerful country on Earth. It’s that we’ll be part of a dream God is giving to us. What blessings are those in store!
God told Noah that He will never destroy living creatures again, He also told this: as long as this Earth spinning, God will still let the seasons pass, the food will grow, and the love will still flow. (I was gonna put money in, but I think that’ll stop soon.) As long as we shall live, these blessings will flow, but all is worthless without love. God loves us so much, Jesus kept sure that the balance will continue.
God is good, holy, and… occasionally summerful (hehehe).
