Not ready... but maybe

Second summer vacation was over as of last Wednesday.

I'm not yet ready to relinquish my only worries being work-related...
Reading what I want instead of what I have too...
Random late nights doing nothing in particular...
Days when putting on make up would be pointless...
Swimming all day long...
Spending most of my time outside the apartment...

However, the beginning of the semester signals the coming of Fall and many other good things.

Hot tea and coffee is even more enjoyable...
Football games to watch and attend...
Wearing jeans and sweatshirts, scarves and cardigans...
Leaves turning warm, pretty colors...
The option of running outside at whatever time of day I want...
Cool, crisp mornings that turn into warm afternoons...

Thank You, Lord, for the changing seasons. For giving us beautiful things to look at that signify Your amazing power and presence in our lives. Thank You for caring about us so much that You created these things for our enjoyment. Most of all, thank You for providing a way out of sin through the sacrifice of Your Son. Help me grow to be more like Him every day. It is in His name that I pray. Amen.
