And now that we're in full blown Autumn, I find myself enjoying this season to it's fullest. It's a season of homey warmth and snuggling. A season of baking, raking and heavy blankets. Oh! It's bliss.
I am thankful for this season as it reminds me of myself in so many ways. I am a person who longs for warmth and security. I seek relationships that are warm, personal and intimate...constantly hoping for connection and bonds that bring worth to this life we're living together. In these bonds, I find security and I am reminded that we were not intended to live alone... to operate without companionship and the ties of friendship. And in these friendships, I see God. I see the Lord's love in the compassion of a friend. I see the Lord's grace in the brokenness of my own heart. And I see a glimpse of Heaven when I'm with a group of friends who can laugh together; I mean, really laugh. That joy is the closest to Heaven we can get some days.
So in this season of Autumn I am thankful for the season itself. I am thankful for my friendships, and I am thankful for the Lord's grace in the crazy hard life we're living.
Love one another with brotherly affection. Out do one another in showing honor.
Romans 12:10
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-22
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it the gift of God...
Ephesians 2:8
