if you're from the south, you may have noticed this *slight* heatwave that has taken over. it may have forced you in doors, or caused you to shower more often than normal. i didn't even realized how hot it was until i finally checked my weather app today to see that there was a heat index warning, as the current temp was 99 with a feels-like of 107 and rising! i knew i had been sweating, but i usually try to assume its not as bad as it may be.
i thought about it today; the odd juxtaposition of 1st world problems in relation to the third-world. someone asked me if it was hot, and i remember responding that i didn't quite know; i had only made the venture from the house, to the car, to the salon.
as i was leaving the store, i was acutely aware of how hot it was as my freshly coifed scalp began to sweat.
but i was overcome with a spirit of gratitude.
thank you jesus, for a world so perfectly crafted in which every detail you've arranged.
that you've made this planet inhabitable by giving it just the right spin and distance from the sun, in which we can survive.
thank you, jesus, for the technology that has produced air conditioning.
thank you jesus, for blessing me the opportunity to be born into a culture that both values cold air, and also can afford it.
thank you for providing the comfort of a cool building to exit and a cool car to enter.
just a small reflection of the things in life i have to be thankful for.
what are you grateful for?
