Ode to Autumn

Autumn is in the air... crunchy leaves, smiling pumpkins, fall festivals complete with crafts and hay rides, and finally a chill in the air. I love fall! I love changing seasons anytime, but especially changing to fall from the long hot drudgery that summer becomes. And fall has great holidays and times of anticipation... Harvest time/ Halloween/ Reformation Day, Thanksgiving, spending extra time with family and friends, Christmas programs starting up, preparing for Christmas... So many reasons to feel warm and cozy. So much to be thankful for... God's provision for our lives in every way: from food to faith to family and friends, to His promise and presence with us. All wrapped up in autumn.
