Fall is my favorite time of year. Which is funny since that is the time of year I seem to get more migraines? But I cherish the crisp cool air and the colorful leaves on the trees. Much of the plant life goes dormant for the winter and that is how I see our mortal bodies when they die; they go dormant and just as the trees and other plant life comes back to life in the Spring and is beautiful so will our souls come back from Paradise and resurrect our mortal bodies into immortal glorified heavenly bodies.
I like Fall because I enjoy watching football. A team plans all week how they will defeat the other team and win. Some teams do it with simple strategies and others with more complicated strategies. It seems to me that it is similar to life. We plan how we are going to defeat the powers of darkness and win at living life. Some of us have simple plans to accomplish this while others have more complex plans. Hopefully, we at the very least have a plan or strategy of some kind. What is interesting is some of the best-made plans fail. There are many teams and coaches who can testify to what I am saying. Most importantly is if you lose you get back up and regroup and keep on trying. The greatest failure is giving up on yourself.
Fall has the magic in the air of the coming holidays, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. This brings about parties and fun food and the lighting of the Advent wreaths for Christians and the lighting of the Menorah at Hanukkah for the Jewish people. I do a lot of reflecting in the Fall because it is getting near the end of another year and I always wonder if I lived this year as good as I could? I realize that I like a slower pace of life now but once in a while, I like to kick up my heels!
This time of year I always like seeing Orion's Belt in the sky along with all the other awesome stars and planets. I enjoy going to Fall Lectures at Franklin College so I still keep my mind active. Churches are back in full swing and off the anemic summer schedule.
It's a great time of year to snuggle up with a book and a cup of coffee, cream and sugar please. I enjoy going out and looking at the Christmas lights and hearing Christmas music and smelling gingerbread cookies. I am most thankful for Thanksgiving getting to pick at the turkey after it has been carved which is my favorite part of this holiday. Bonfires, pumpkin pie, and carving pumpkins in Fall are fun too. Thank you God for the seasons of the year with each one there is something special but You really outdid Yourself on Fall.
