Fall in the Air

I felt fall in the air this morning. I woke up and the air was crisp. It made me smile. Fall is my favorite season of all. I love pulling out sweaters and slippers to wear to stay cozy. I love walking and seeing the leaves changing colors. I love how the crisp air seems to make me enjoy being a housewife even more. (The hot summer weather makes me not want to be indoors because of how hot our house gets.) The fall weather keeps me inside a little more to organize, clean, write letters, and bake. I love how I can start pulling out hearty warm casserole recipes to make.

Oh this is just the best time of year.

I love the changing seasons. It reminds me of my changing spiritual seasons. I've seemed to be in a dry season latley. I have needed to be refreshed and rejuvinated for a few months now. I seek the Lord daily and bring before Him my desire to serve Him with excitment and enthusiasm. I am sure a lot of the dryness I feel is because of the stressful times we are going through with Ross' career change and my crazy pregnancy hormones. I continue to worship Him and praise Him in this season too. As I was thinking about the changing seasons, I was reminded that my "dry" season will be changing soon too. Usually I would write about a "dry" season after it was over, but maybe you all could just be praying for us and all the adjustments we are facing.

Another reason I just love the crispness in the air this morning is that I feel like I am getting one season closer to having our December baby! Honestly, I have felt like summer has dragged on forever! With it being September 1st and kids are going back to school, and I am seeing fall items in the store, and the change in the air, I am encouraged that it won't be summer forever and I won't be pregnant forever!

What do you love about the fall season?
