For the last three weeks I have been writing about the blessing of the four seasons leading up to Christmas. Here is the first post. This project was prompted by the reading of one of my favorite devotional books: The Finishing Touch by Chuck Swindoll.
This week I focus on the season of fall. I have been looking through my pictures to jog my memory. I found 7 things to be thankful for!
- My son started 10th grade and my daughter started her first official year of college. She has been taking college classes for over a year and will be earning her AA by this upcoming spring.
- I ran another 5k with my sister and niece. I had a better run time, not as fast as I wish, but I did it!
- We visited Georgetown College again. We are actually considering moving to Kentucky. We really like the area and the pace of life. California life is so hectic.
- We visited the Creation Museum in Ohio. It was an awesome experience, we didn’t have time to go through the whole place so I am planning a return trip.
- I packed 20 Operation Christmas Child boxes! These boxes are due the week before Thanksgiving so I count it as a fall blessing. I am truly honored to be able to share the love of Christ through a shoebox.
- My daughter turned 18!
- My “adopted” daughter through Compassion International also turned 18 and therefore graduated out of the program. It made me sad since I have “known” her since she was 8 or 9. I went ahead and “adopted” another little girl from Guatemala. She is 4 years old, so I will get to enjoy her for a long time.
