The Fall Season--A Time For...

Don't you just love the Fall season? School starts back--a fresh start, football time (all of it from high school, college and the NFL) & cheerleading!! The air is crisp, cool and refreshing. This is my favorite time of year-although I think I say that at the beginning of every season. It's amazing to me how God brings you His blessings at just the right time! I love when the fall comes, but then I love it when winter comes...and then I really love it when spring time is here and then I am really ready for summer and a break from school! We need every season--just as God has it planned.

In the same way as the seasons, changes occur in our lives and in our children's lives. When I think back to all the birthdays in my girls' lives--I always say..."I can't believe I have a 6 year old...." or whatever age they are turning. But yet, God prepares us for each stage of their lives--we love the baby stage, toddler stage, pre-school...and so on! In His timing--all things are perfect! As my youngest went to middle school and my oldest is a Junior!! --I find the time slipping by--but instead of saying where has the time gone? I need to embrace this season in their lives and mine!

I am excited for the Fall season! Football, cheerleading, crisp weather and new season of life!
May the joy of the Lord refresh our souls this Fall! Cheers!
