This week it has officially switched from warm, summer weather to fall, cool temperatures. And I can tell you, I am not enjoying it! I am a summer girl. I like the heat. Even though the sun is out, it is deceiving to make you think it is warm outside. I walk outside and just say "nope" and have to go in and get a jacket. There is a chill in the air. And my body and joints are definitely feeling it!
So I am back to my fall way of thinking, wishing this season would go quickly and March to get here soon! It's sad when you wish away part of your life, instead of trying to find ways to enjoy this season. I need to look deep to see what is good about cold weather and snow! I cannot stand the snow! Brrrr
So this season, as it gets colder, I am having to warm up my car in the mornings before I leave for work. This got me thinking as I was doing my devo this week. As our cars need to be warmed up, so does our spirit, our minds. How do we do it? Well, one way is getting into the word. Another way is through prayer. Starting your day with scripture and prayer every morning before you even step out of your house, will prepare your heart and mind for the day ahead.
So I am enjoying the last remaining warm days and all the colorful flowers that comes with it. In the next week or so, our trees will be changing to a beautiful orange, red and yellow colors. The beauty God gives us in amazing. We just need to look and see that beauty. And I am concentrating on what is good this season. This includes, but not limited to.....MY BIRTHDAY, holiday gatherings with my family, shopping for Christmas gifts and my shoe box for Samaritan's purse.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV); "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Love to all,
