Ah, Fall!

Fall in north Florida. One of my favorite times of year! The nights are crisp and cool with the days warming up nicely. I love having the doors and windows open with the wonderful breeze blowing through the house. The change of season causes me to reflect on the many blessings we receive from God every day! He knows just what we need and just when we need it. When the "dog days" of summer have worn us down and we think we just can't handle one more sweltering day in the hot sun, God sends a breeze to cool us down. I find myself sitting out on the deck, enjoying the breeze and soaking up God's creation all around me. I'm thankful for His gentle reminders that show us how much He loves and cares for us, not just when we need a change of season, but for everything in our lives. He is always there, watching over us and meeting our every need. I'm so thankful for our loving Lord. I'm going to enjoy the change of season and this cooler weather and look forward to the return of summer, just when I need it!
