Father God, Thank You for the warmth of this season and the extra light You provide—both in the sky and in my heart. Help me to slow down and savor the simple joys: time with family, beauty in nature, rest for my body, and refreshment for my spirit. Teach me to embrace today with gratitude, to notice Your goodness in the breeze, the laughter, the stillness. May joy be my anthem and thankfulness my rhythm. I dedicate this day to You, Lord—guide my steps and fill my heart with summer joy. Amen.
