a thankful fall...

this fall, I am
thankful for...

hot chocolate
a cozy blanket and a good book
leaves turning colors
         and falling from the trees
pumpkins
baking

cooler weather
rakes
crunching beneath my feet
warm fuzzy socks
flag football games

laughter as my blessings play
hot apple cider
school events
sweaters and long sleeved shirts
harvest

corn shucks everywhere
mums in bloom
planting bulbs
wind
lots of blankets

firepits
smores
caramel apples
yummy hot coffee
my family
and precious memories of those
     gone before us...

*************************
Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are His.
He changes times and seasons;
He sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
He reveals deep and hidden things;
He knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with Him.
I thank and praise You, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
You have made known to me what we asked of You,
You have made known to us the dream of the king.
~Daniel's praise to God in Daniel 2:20-23

Lord,  You bring the wonderful change of seasons to us...thank you!
