Autumn Marks Its Season
Autumn stirs my senses and beckons me to embrace its vibrancy like no other season of the year. Pumpkin orange, sun-fire yellow, burnt cranberry, maple-leaf red encircle me like a forest of color. Candles glowing dance with fragrances of autumn leaves, apple cider, and pumpkin pie spice. The whole house tingles with the season’s sensations and the anticipation of holiday celebrations.
Gratefully, the Lord has created beauty for each season of the year and each season of our lives. To Him be all praise, honor, glory, and thanksgiving:
256) for encouragement from friends online and around the corner
257) for the sparkling smile spread across youngest’s face
258) for seeing my cousin while in California
259) for Hubby keeping us safe from the snake in our garage
260) for not knowing there was a snake in our garage
261) for fellowship at church and the great teaching

I would be thankful for not knowing about the snake too! Better to be ignorant of some things I believe LOL!
Enjoyed reading your thankful list…and looking at your beautiful flowers and pictures.
God bless you…
Your pictures are happy! I love the colors!
Thanks for sharing with us 🙂
🙂 I second the relief of not having known about the snake… I do not like them!

Thanks for sharing your list. The colors of the mums are beautiful, but I favor yellow. I am hoping to post today; but have something at the church tonight, so I am running. I stopped for a breather and read a few posts, yours being one of them.

Thank you, all, for sharing my enjoyment of fall colors. And agreeing about the snake. Better not to know 🙂

GREAT list! I completely agree with you about autumn. I just can’t get enough of this season — the colors, the smells. . . . Lovely!
Ignorance is bliss — laughing with you about NOT knowing about the snake in your garage. 🙂
Giving thanks with you.
Thanks, Heather
I only heard about the snake after Tom had disposed of him! YEAH!
