Being a resident of South Florida, it is an understatement to say that I complain of the heat on a regular basis. I have always enjoyed the cool weather and being able to unveil a new pair of boots that have awaited the lows of sixty degrees for the entire year. There is truly something to be said on the effects of cooler weather for anyone who lives in such a hot and humid state.
Friday I spent the day at the pool with my son; knowing of course that even a dive into the cold water was not going to seize the consistent heat that I for one cannot stand. Saturday, I woke up to a beautiful day and a night filled with perfect weather. So perfect in fact that I could not resist the great outdoors and was awake for a vast majority of the night soaking it up. Today is Sunday, and it is absolutely beautiful out. I got to take out some of my winter attire and spend all day basking in the glory of all creations under God.
Nothing in my personal life has changed over night, but my mood is instantly enhanced by the break from the heat followed instantly by songs of holiday cheer and the immediate feeling of becoming closer to God through simply being able to enjoy all that He has made for us and knowing that the season of love and appreciation is fast approaching. So right now I am heading outside to tidy up our courtyard and enjoy a nice game of basketball with my son who also feels the effects of the old air , causing him to release many giggles simply because the cool chill of the winds brush lightly across his nose and cheeks. My day has been filled with hugs, Eskimo kisses, and many smiles all because of the swift change of the weather that God blesses us with toward the end of the year.
