31 Reasons to Fall for Autumn... Day 3

Aaahhh.... nothing says Fall like this little treasure!

One of my favorite things about Fall

is the return of Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte!

It's a gorgeous little cup of Glorious Autumn goodness!

I have noticed, however, that it seems he is making

his appearance earlier & earlier!

I am have not quite moved on from Summer

when Mr. PS Latte is trying to get all Flirty with me!
But I won't have it!

I am spoken for

& spend my days with Summer for as long as possible.

However, the shift is bound to happen

the early air gets crisp, my cheeks turn rosy on my morning walk,

& Fall begins to beckon me once again!

The mere angle of light through out my day shifts,

& I feel the pull toward Autumn

... toward Change

... toward the possibility of New!

I wait.

Early September comes & goes

& I wait.

You see, sipping that first cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte

must be SAVORED & sipped & enjoyed

as I welcome in this Season of Change.

I realize of course - it is 'just' a cup of coffee...

but it is a tangible ritual that signifies both

Reflection of Summer

& Anticipation of Fall.

It's an intentional marker that calls me to

Be Open to the opportunities for Change

Within me, & All Around me!

As I drink it in, I drink Him in...

& I allow His Spirit to

nourish me, comfort me, & remind me:

Autumn is FULL of Hope & Glory

& Thankfulness & Change!

Embrace it!  Embrace Him!

"Bless the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

² 

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

³ 

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

⁴ 

Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

⁵ 

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

~Psalm 103:1-5

"Who satisfies your mouth with good things"

...

What "Fall" treat do YOU look forward to most

& what, in this season, nourishes your soul?
