This morning I grabbed a ladder and bounded up on to our roof with bamboo-ish mats and used them to cover our skylights.  We haven't used our stove or oven for a few days now and we likely won't touch them for a few more.  Looking at the comforter for our bed makes me feel hot.  It seems as though my Northwest body isn't ready for this Southern style heat.  At least it's not THAT humid, or that's what they tell me.  Yesterday we jumped into the lake located in our development and the water reminded me of our bathtub.  Don't get me wrong, it helped but even that wasn't as refreshing as I'd hoped it would be.

Yeppers it's hot and it doesn't look like it's going to be cool for a little while so before I dive head first into a giant vat of complaints let me allow God's word to speak to me and you.

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.  Proverbs 11:25 (NIV)

As I read this verse I am struck by the exhortation to "do" rather than how to "feel".  When the heat gets turned up on us in this life, be it literal or figurative, we sometimes feel obligated to change our mentality.  I know I can focus on how my mindset needs to change or how I just need to focus on Jesus more or how I should just stop complaining.  All of these things are good things to do but sometimes we just need to become refreshers of others.

Perhaps beating the heat is as simple as asking, "How can I refresh you?"
