What a wonderful morning, Oh what a wonderful day!
In Ecclesiastes 3:1, it states, "For everything there is a season...", I love the changing of the seasons, the newness that each time brings. My most favorite season is Autumn or Fall depending on which part of the country you are from.
Here in Oklahoma, we really only have two distinctive seasons, hot and humid, and cold and icy, so when we get to actually experience a cooling down and see the leaves slowly changes, we enjoy it.
One of my favorite things to do is to show my children the changing of the leaves, to point out to them the different colors. The beautiful golds, the brilliant oranges, the purples that some of the trees turn to, all just for us to see. I love how it can be almost cold in the mornings and in need of a heavier jacket, but by afternoon time, it is short sleeves you want to be in.
I also love that it is time to start baking again, after the hot summer it feels good to actually turn on my oven. The smells! OH!, the smells of something yummy getting all gooey or cinnamon-y or apple-y, or just plain happy in my oven is enough to make a smile come across my face everytime.
But those are just part of why I love this season so much.
I guess it is all of it, the feeling you get when you cheer on the hometown football team, since it IS now football season too. The hint of the up coming holidays, the crackle of leaves on the ground, the bonfires with the marshmallows turning almost black, snuggling up in a favorite sweater, all combined to make a wonderful season for us to enjoy.
Yep, I really think God knew what He was doing when He made this season.
My prayer is that we can all just take a little bit of time and marvel at the beauty this season has to offer and maybe find a little peace in ourselves in doing so.
Thanks for taking a moment of your time to spend with me today..
Have a great ride and make it count.
