“Fall is here again way too soon. I feel like I didn’t even get a summer this year. With the huge storm that devistated the area in which I live, everything “fun” seemed to be put on hold. And now… here we are and winter will be here before we know it, and it lasts about 6 months here in Northern Minnesota.”

This is how I have been feeling for the last could weeks, which is really sad because I love the fall season. But because I wasn’t able to do everything I wanted to do this summer, I was allowing myself to feel down. Why is it that even when we are blessed so greatly by a God, we still can feel sad about the littlest things? No, I didn’t get to go paddleboarding on the lake this summer, but I got to drive by the lake at sunset and see God paint the sky with colors that reflected on the still lake. No, I didn’t get to go camping, but God blessing me with building a patio at home that I can enjoy for years to come.

I have said it in the past and I will probably say it again. It all depend on our perspective. Do we look at our lives through our fleshly desires, or the blessings of God? God gives us so much, but too often we dwell on the negative thoughts we play though our heads. Let’s stop that today and simply… enjoy the season.
