Growing up and living in Florida, our autumns are obviously a bit different from other northern areas of the country. Yes, our weather may cool off a tad, but we normally don’t have the red and orange leaves, crisp air and the true changing of season. However, many of our churches and communities embrace Florida’s fall season and celebrate this special time of year with fall festivals, pumpkin patches and good old-fashioned corn-mazes. I’m looking forward to unpacking warmer clothing, hot cocoa, harvest moons, roasting marshmallows over a fire and best of all—football season. Autumn is a pure mixture of nostalgia, blessings and potential. Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Let’s celebrate God’s blessing this fall season.
