Hooray, It's Autumn & Hooray for AIR!

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
George Eliot


My sentiments exactly. And on the very first day of this incredible season I find myself thanking God for something I don't think I've ever thanked Him for before--AIR.

That's right just plain old air, that invisible stuff that surrounds us each moment, that makes life possible, that most of us never, ever think about.

Thank You Lord for air--

~for the life it gives us

~for sweet breezes blowing on arms in the mornings and across faces in the cool dark of night.

~for carrying wonderful fragrances to us stirring memories and longings in hearts and minds

~for lifting kites, balloons, birds, airplanes and our spirits soaring as we see them fly.

~for fluttering flags and rustling leaves and rasping cornstalks.



Thank you Lord for air.

1 Chronicles 16:34 (New King James Version)
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Five things I'm thankful for today.



5. Air conditioning! (up to 91 degrees outside)
4. My sister Sammie, for so many reasons but today, for working for an airline & hotel so I can get cheap tickets & rooms. Whoo-hoo, you rock Sammie!
3. For cherry picking pictures to remember all our cherry picking fun with daughter Stasi and granddaughter Maggie last month.
2. For Twila Belk-my boss, friend and one of the coolest chicks I know. (Twila, you also rock)
1. For thunder and lighting, rain and gardens. God's nature rockin' it in the su-su-summertime!
