Glorious Autumn...

And suddenly, Fall is here. The air is crisp and cool in the mornings and evenings, pumpkins dot porches as we drive down our road, our book basket is full of Autumn tales, scarecrows and apples and pumpkins galore. Today there was chili simmering on the oven and pumpkin bars for dessert. What's not to love? I was thinking today about how life is often so uncertain...He gives and takes away...but these seasons and the traditions with them give such comfort. So, it's with a thankful heart that I looked through these moments captured on my phone and remembered that though life can swirl around, Autumn is here with its great hiking weather and comforting stews and soups, it's rich colors and smells and flavors, the rhythm of home learning, earlier bedtimes....and that's grounding. Here's to Fall, and the knowledge that God is faithful morning by morning and season by season. Jen
