When I was younger... Fall was not one of my favorite seasons... with each passing year I find myself enjoying fall more, appreciating it more, falling in love with this beautiful season more...
Fall is fast approaching.... I find myself stepping into that season of my life.... It isn't as new and fresh as spring.... yet just as lovely. The colors aren't as bright and cheerful... but they have warmth and depth. It is a time where the trees have finally born fruit... the nectar is sweet and ready to be picked, to be enjoyed, to provide nutrients to those around it. To be a witness of the sweetness of the One who Created the fruit.... the One whose light shone on it in order for it to grow and bare fruit.
The fields are ripe for the harvest.... It is time to no longer skip along.... singing MY song.... it is time to sing the song of JOY of TRUTH of Him... of Jesus. It is time to each day go into the fields for my Lord, with my Lord and gather the harvest...
Yes, I love spring.... it is beautiful.... but fall is just as lovely..... it's takes on new depths of being... a deeper walk with the Lord...
Thank You Jesus for the seasons of life.... thank You Lord for this most beautiful season of fall... May I each day take the long walk with You.... side by side... talking, listening, watching, joining in with Your work.... and when I begin to tire Lord... help me to stop and rest... to sit at Your feet... to partake of Your Bread and to listen..... to "Be Still and Know that I Am God"......
Lord, help me to be faithful to You...... it is past time to do so...... it is the time in my life where I have no more excuses.... it is time to ripen, to mature and bare fruit.... Help me to put You upon the throne of my heart.... to serve You in everything I do.... no task is too menial for me Lord... I must humble myself... stay the coarse and do ALL things for You... for Your glory.... in that You will be glorified and hearts will be won for You Jesus....
Have Thine Own way Lord.... Have Thine Own way...
Hello fall....... it has been a long journey.... but it is so nice to have arrived....

Daleea,
Beautifully spoken!
Beautiful post Daleea. Absolutely wonderful.
There is something so fresh and new about the beginning of a new season - it does feel like a good time to start fresh, with everything.
Happy fall to you, my friend. May it be a wonderful and fruitful season.
What a lovely tribute to my favorite season. Thank you for sharing it with me, Daleea.
