The season of change

Today marks the first day of Autumn. I love the fall. It's a season of change. However, in Texas it takes awhile for fall to arrive. As they say down South, where I come from we don't really see the evolution of beautiful colors of the fall season. If you have trees, many are evergreens. I have one tree in my yard whose leaves turn with the season. It's neat to watch those leaves, but I'd prefer not to spend my Saturday raking them up. What do I like most about the fall? Mostly I look forward to the temperature falling. Last week there were some days where we did not hit ninety degrees, but the temp is looking up this week again. I'll be traveling north to the state of Connecticut where it may get above seventy degrees a couple of days and it will dip into the forties at night. It seems strange to pull the long-sleeved shirts out of the cedar closet when it is so hot. We were told to bring a flannel shirt --- a what? who needs a flannel shirt in Texas?

I must also note that today is Andrea Bocelli's birthday. I've fallen for his wonderful voice. Since four of my family members will be traveling, I'm praying that everyone will be alright and He will watch us where'ver we go. In times of trouble and uncertainty I can celebrate with confidence that guidance and peace are only a prayer away. Perhaps you'll enjoy the following video of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli singing "The Prayer"

Today I hope that you're celebrating the fall season and you also have peace through the changes, some unexpected, that life brings.
