Autumn Blessings ..
10/07/07
Wishing all my Canadian friends a blessed Thanksgiving! May the gratitude and love in your hearts Put an extra sense of peace in your lives this week.
I love these two pictures of Clay they have blessed my heart many times this year!!!
Well a new season is upon us!! It's a time to reflect upon all the blessings of summer & safely record them into our own book of memories. I have so many fond memories of this summer to savor!
And a new season of thankfulness is upon us!
God's word says ...
"From the Fullness of His Grace We all have received .. One blessing upon another" John 1:16
As the seasons change it is a time to look forward with anticipation!
What awaits us beyond the falling of autumn leaves?
I have no doubt that it's blessings upon blessings!!
In that promise of God's word from John .. I am filled with joy, hope, and inner peace! I am looking forward with a smile. :D
I can smile because I am confident that there will be many more magical moments in friendship, love, peace, and praise.
And I can smile because beyond our season of thankfulness, there awaits us a season of giving in kindness and a special time for love!
The seasons will change there's no doubt about it. But our love for Clay and each other is constant that doesn't change!
Let us fix our eyes upon The Giver of all Blessings. With a vision of gratitude let us share in His grace.
Every Season (Nicole Nordeman)
Every evening sky, an invitation To trace the patterned stars And early in July, a celebration For freedom that is ours And I notice You In children’s games In those who watch them from the shade Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder You are summer
And even when the trees have just surrendered To the harvest time Forfeiting their leaves in late September And sending us inside Still I notice You when change begins And I am braced for colder winds I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come You are autumn
And everything in time and under heaven Finally falls asleep Wrapped in blankets white, all creation Shivers underneath And still I notice you When branches crack And in my breath on frosted glass Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter You are winter
And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced Teaching us to breathe What was frozen through is newly purposed Turning all things green So it is with You And how You make me new With every season’s change And so it will be As You are re-creating me Summer, autumn, winter, spring
Eyes closed ... focused on Your gift of love
Burdens laid down ... focused on Your gift of hope
Listening ... looking within ... You are here
Though seasons change and life is hard
Lord I do not face them alone ... You are here
In the many days ahead Lord continue in me
Recreating, molding, fashioning me in love
Gentle waves of peace ... focused on Your grace
Shine down Lord ... Your light upon my face
Blessings .. warm .. filled with truth .. free of fear
Resting Lord for You .. Are .. Near 
Summer Time Is Gone My Friends
Summer time is gone my friends It slowly comes but quickly ends. It's been replaced by time called Autumn. Nature changes hues from top to bottom Green gives way to red and gold. A lovely vision to behold. Whirling leaves go blowing by Carrying smells of pumpkin pie. The air turns crisp the sky fades grey. Indian corn and bales of hay. Overcoats and apple cider. No more evenings on the glider. The harvest moon so orange and round Holidays will soon abound. Chrysanthemum petals start to unfold A lovely vision to behold.

And speaking of the end of a season. Here's a few pictures from last night. It was Senior recognition & Parents night. Here I am with my son Kelvin. He's been playing football for so long. Two knee injuries has him on the sidelines now. Playoffs start in two weeks. Kelvin is done but still very much a part of the team. I got a little weepy last night. It's hard to believe that season of his life is over. We have so many precious moments. They sure do grow up fast!
May you be blessed as we move forward in a season of love.
