Falling Into Fall

Falling Into Fall
Sarah Carstensen

Fall is finally in the air! Well this is West Texas, so who knows what the weather will be like next week. Anyway, it is September and that makes it officially time to start enjoying everything fall has to offer.

The season of fall is my favorite season. To me, every aspect is beautiful. The colors of all the leaves changing and falling delicately on the lawns and driveways, only to be raked up in a large pile on the front lawn, just moments later.

The colors of harvest mix so well together. The talk of farmers getting their crops ready for harvest only stirs my heart with love for the area I have grown up in. The sight of tractors in the field fill my heart with thankfulness.

The crisp morning air fills my lungs with joy and puts an extra touch of rosiness on everyone’s cheeks. I am able to wipe the summer dust off my riding boots and pull out all my cute sweaters. I mean a huge perk about fall weather is to cute clothes we get to wear! Am I right? Scarfs, headband warmers and matching gloves you name it, I have it pulled out and ready to go!

The smell of pumpkin everything is in the air. Pumpkin spice cake, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice Scentsy, etc. Hot chocolate gets thrown into the mix, along with blankets and fires on a brisk evening.

With all this time of changing out Patriotic/summer decor to fall decor, I am reminded of my Savior’s talent in artwork. His ability to paint a West Texas fall sunset never ceases to amaze me. The colors are picked so precisely designed for a perfect painting.

In this season of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for many, many things; but one thing is for certain. I am thankful for my King. The King of all Kings. The King who has blessed me daily, through the sights of fall and His artistic ability. Remember that in this season of fall. Look for the little details that our Father has made for us. Find joy in His artwork.

Happy Fall y’all!
