THE HEAT OF THE DAY!

I love to sit on my porch, read 
scriptures, and look at the birds
before the heat of the day arrives.
The heat of the day can be soothing
in the spring and fall.  The intense 
heat of the day during the summer 
is nourishing for my garden plants. 
It is unhealthy for me to be in the 
heat of the day when the mercury
reads 90 degrees! I have learned 
to balance my activities with the
heat of the day.

The people in the Bible also understood
about the heat. The scriptures below 
show how it relates their daily lives.
