Happy new week friend. How are you?? We welcomed a new month this week and we are pretty much in the middle of this season. And our weather here matched up with the fall season this week even though it looks like it’s warming back up this week. But here in North Florida we just have to enjoy cooler temps when we can. HA! The weekly focus for this week is Thankfulness. You don’t have to look very far for the evidence that we are in the season of Thankfulness. Actually, I just had the thought as I said that, that you might actually have to do some digging as we are at the start of November, and Thanksgiving and Fall stuff has already been replaced with Christmas decor at many stores Just so you know this is a pet peeve of mine. I” 'm well aware that many of you are not like me and you like being ahead of the season and nailing down your fall decor scheme in the middle of Summer but my brain does not function like that so when I’m looking for the fall stuff and it’s already sold out and replace with Christmas stuff by the end of October that doesn’t make sense to me. But I digress …back to focusing on Thankfulness. Ha! And I’ll be thankful for what I can find haha The point is fall is the season for all the decor and plates and dishtowels and cups displaying declarations of being thankful. And as commercialized as most seasons have become in our culture. I do want to be intentional about celebrating and entering into a special time of thanksgiving. I love how Psalm 100:4 reads in the Message “ Enter with the password “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home. Talking praise.” I love that! Enter with the password thank you! Having a spirit of thankfulness opens our hearts to recognize and see all that we have to be thankful for in our lives. Living in thankfulness can feel challenging when you find yourself walking through an Autumn season in your life. Our first instinct when things are falling away in our lives typically isn’t to say thank you! So here’s a question in this week's focus from the Autumn Journal that I want to invite you to think about… What are you afraid of losing that you need to exchange with ‘Thank you”? Who we are in the spring and summer seasons of our life is an overflow of what has been cultivated in the secret spaces of an Autumn season. The one who holds all of our seasons in his hand never wastes a moment in working all things for good and forming our lives to reflect and image him in a deeper and more beautiful way. I'm thankful for you and pray you have a beautiful week friend.
