Fall is coming...

My most favorite season of the year is quickly approaching!! The kids went back to school yesterday, and I am starting to feel the crispness is slowly starting to come in. I love fall! I get to wear a hoodie and jeans comfortably, then theres the football, and the pumpkins, and then theres Thanksgiving and my birthday too! How exciting! The leaves fall off the trees and the outside slowly starts to turn brown and die. Its all so exciting to me that in the anticipation of winter when most everything is dead and waiting. It reminds me of how the disciples must have felt when Jesus died. Did it feel like a long season, those three days before Jesus rose, did they drag on and on in their mourning?? I wonder if it felt what our winter feels like to us, as if the days drag on and on and never ends.

I say bring on the fall...I'm ready to pull out my hoodies!!
