I hope it’s okay with all of you out there if we take a day out of the blogging schedule to celebrate fall.

I’m not exactly talking about fall flavors or pumpkin or chunky scarves (though those are all good things). I’m thinking more about looking around us, breathing in the crisp cooled air and thanking the Creator for the beauty that surrounds us.

I don’t know about you, but here in North Carolina we have had a couple weeks of beautiful multicolored trees.

They have been especially breathtaking near my work, where I think we have lots of maples changing colors from fiery red to yellow, transforming each day.

I love how the leaves are such a reminder to stop and look around you and embrace the seasons.

Also, it helps me remember that beautiful things come and go, but there is always something in nature to appreciate.
