  1. Thank you for the reminder that our steps are ordered by the Lord and in His perfect time.
    I am the opposite of you in that I hate hate hate autumn and love the heat of summer. I find myself looking at the calendar in August and dreading the coming months. It is a struggle to be thankful in the autumn and winter but reminding myself He is there in every season helps me work on being grateful.

  2. Annarendell yes what you said in today’s reading is so very true. In everything God made it all is beautiful in God’s eyes. But we most of us saved or not saved. Say look at the weather it horrible day. If windy or rainy and cold. It can get us down we don’t like having to go out in it. We grumble about how bad a day it. We saved shouldn’t do that. We should be thankful God has woke us to enjoy another beautiful day in world. Especially if we have no health problems. Then when the sun his shining. Even it not a hot day. As long as it is shining and dry. We have a smile on our faces. That makes us happier. We are happy because we not going out in the bad weather. If well and got no health problems we can. It shouldn’t matter about the weather. We should be thankful God woke us gave us an other day to live in his beautiful world that he has made. We shouldn’t wish especially if saved for it to be this season or that season. Rather than the season we are living in at the moment. We should be like these two scripture Psalm 118:24 ” This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice in it” Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord ” how true these scriptures are. I try to live up to both of them. There once I don’t know if she is still alive. But this lady was saved. She said when she heard people grumble about the weather wishing they were in the season when the weather not a cold or wet. But in the months where it is bright and not a bad as it is in the winter time. Especially when the sun out even if not hot. She say especially if you had nothing wrong with you. You were saved and she knew it. She say stop your grumbling. Especially if wet and cold. Put on warm clothes your warm coat hat scarf and gloves warm boots. You got two good legs God give you. Away you go walk wherever you need to go. As look at those who need help can’t walk for no matter what reason she say. So you be thankful on to God you can walk you nothing wrong with you. So stop giving of and grumbling be thankful on to God you’re alive you have no health issues or can’t walk she say. This lady was so right. So I just do long for any season. I thank God for another day to be alive in his world and for all I can do. No matter what the weather doing. Love Dawn Ferguson-Little Enniskillen Co.Fermanagh N.Irealand xx

  3. Anna, I hope you find peace and wonder in your surroundings. If you’re super busy, carve out tiny spaces of enjoyment. You can do it! You’ve helped us choose that so many times! Thank you for being you!

  4. Anna,

    I, too, love love Autumn. The mountains & trees bursting with color. The scent of freshly baked anything-especially pumpkin. I have two pumpkin scented candles in my bathroom. No color changes here in upper E. TN yet either. Last weekend Hurricane Helene hit here hard. Most people here are longing for a different season. I would love cool air & quiet days.

    Blessings 🙂

  5. I also love autumn! I also love winter and snow. It has been the hottest and driest summer in my memory of 77 years. But I thank my Lord Jesus for all His many blessings and promises to me! The Lord bless you all in every season of the calendar and every season your lives!

  6. Thank you! This so touched my spirit, my soul. He is an on time God. Everything, everything, happens in His timing. Oh, Lord, thank you.

  7. I’m so THANKFUL for each of the four different seasons we have in Pennsylvania and each one brings a special type of beauty in it’s own special way. Of course, our favorite is FALL with many family celebrations: Our 41st Anniversary is Oct. 15 (peak of the foliage) along with the birth of our 1st grand-daughter, age 5 (same day). Our oldest daughter born: Oct. 5 along with my sister’s son, one year apart (same day). We have many birthdays, 2 nieces, nephew, sister-n-law, my dad, etc…the list goes on, starting the end of Sept. til beginning of Nov. so it’s a very BUSY time of the year for us, it goes by so fast. We cherish the beauty and smell of autumn that surrounds us…so breath-taking and before you know it, quickly slips away. In our area we have lots of Fall activites, parades, football games, festivals, pumpkin contest, apple picking/apple cider, hayrides, halloween, etc… and with five small grandchildren we are always on our toes which makes it a very crazy household but so much FUN! We are Savoring Life’s Moments with all of God’s Bountiful BOO-ti-ful Blessings! It’s Halloween this Thursday…Enjoy!
