autumn

...I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, 10th October 1842

Autumn is a favorite time of the year for me.   The crisp feel

in the air. The smell of burning leaves.  I am so happy

to have rain. I love rain ,have always.

There were some years I could not walk in the rain. In 1995 God healed me from MS. The thrill when I could walk again holding up a umbrella...

not loosing my balance.  Every day, I am walking and on my feet with only a 15 minute break in the 5 hours. chasing after kids and sometimes carrying a sad boy. I can only say thank you Jesus for what you have done for me.

Psa 121:2  My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

Why did the cow  jump over the moon. Do we really care? Will it make a difference in how we view the jersey cow? When does animal control step  in? Your thoughts......

What I am looking forward to

So many things will be happening in Nov-Dec. So many years I long to be with loved ones, doing family traditions. Well that time has arrived.  Cookie baking time, thanksgiving and Christmas meals. The programs, the shopping, the excitement on dear ones faces. I will be doing all that plus work every day and taking classes to help my job.  It will be a busy time but a fun time.

As I sit here this Sunday morning, I reflect on what a great big God we serve.  How much he loves us and longs to do so much for us....if only we let him. This morning our message in church brought out how people are watching us. How they are paying attention to see if our actions live up to what we say.  That loved ones who still may need the lord, can find us faithfully living for Jesus.  Arr we being lifter ups or tearer -downers? Are we encouraging others in the way?

I was challenged to live my life faithfully every day. In the big stuff and the little stuff be All for Jesus.

All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my being’s ransomed pow’rs;
All my thoughts and words and doings,
All my days and all my hours.
  All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
  All my days and all my hours.
  All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
  All my days and all my hours.
