Today, I thank God for doors. Particularly the beautiful doors to my kitchen. Oh, they are beautiful, but more than that, they’re extremely functional.

It’s been hot here (supposed to be over 100°F next week), we don’t have air conditioning, and this is a girl who didn’t wear a coat in the 10 years she lived in SC (jackets, yes; but coat, no–in other words, I prefer cold).

BUT, let me tell you about a little treasure God gave me. He gave me a kitchen that’s usually wide open and connected to our living room/eating room, etc. However, He also gave me two doors that slide closed and block the small kitchen off from the rest of the house. These doors are a huge blessing. I close the doors when I cook, and though the kitchen heats up like a furnace, when I leave it, I leave the heat trapped inside. Oh, and, when I leave it, I feel like I’m entering an air-conditioned room (for a few minutes, anyway). 😉

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!”
Psalm 34:8
