It is really becoming Fall. You can feel it in the cooler temperatures and signs as people decorate their homes. I love the harvest decor and anything that feels "Thanksgiving."
What I don't like is the foolish holiday we celebrate in October. Let's face it, I am the Scrooge of Halloween. I don't participate, hate the whole tons of money spent on costuming and then there is all that sugary candy. Yuk and double yuk.
How about you? I know that watching cute kids in costumes is supposed to be fun but when those costumes become blood and gore or horrifying I draw the line. A day to worship evil is what I call it. Not for me and won't ever be for my children.
Lord, I live to get past this month every year. I don't like the evil that many people portray in the name of Halloween. Help us to remember that there is a real evil in the world, Satan. There is nothing funny or cute about him or his host of evil doers. I thank you that we can celebrate Fall and the coming Thanksgiving holiday as a time of bounty, friends and family, and gratitude. Amen
So as I am trekking the path and the higher altitude brings cooler weather I am reminded of God's creative power. Seasons are how we turn through life. The crisp air is welcoming as the climb gets a bit steep. I am going to take this part, slowly. It is all about the journey anyway. I am in no race to get anywhere. I want to enjoy every minute as God heals and restores me.
