Week of October 27th, 2013

As the month of October winds down, the leaves lose their beautiful colors and fall to the ground....we draw closer to home and hearth and take up our needles once again. A new season comes to a close and another one begins. Let us thank God for the warmth of our homes and the harvest that feeds us. Although the colors are gone, we know that He is giving us time to rest and reclaim our silent selves as we prepare for the busy days of November and December.

"Autumn asks that we prepare for the future - that we be wise in the ways of garnering and keeping. But it also asks that we learn to let go - to acknowledge the beauty of sparseness." Bonard W. Overstreet
