This past weekend I had a Zoom meeting for one of our school’s Board committees, met up with family friends for a picnic outdoors, and viewed my oldest son’s Student Council speech for the virtual election. It was nice to take a break from 3rd grade Social Studies and 4th grade Math, but I have to commend my kids and their teachers. We are all so exhausted but continue to strive to make the best of distance learning. I can’t believe it’s still September because some days it already feels like December! That must be wishful thinking😊 At least Autumn is here.
From Reflections of Autumn (and its Lone Appearance in the Bible)
The autumn of life is a great time to focus on God’s wonderful blessings.
The seasons come and go, so focus on the God who remains unchanged and unchanging. “LORD, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God” (Psalm 90:1-2).
There’s a lot of unwelcome change in our world. Moral and societal changes bother us most when we turn on our television or glance at the magazines. We’re painfully aware our kids are growing up in a world far different from the one we knew as children…. But amid all the changes, one thing, one person, never changes—our eternal God.
