Fall is in the air and on the ground. In the air with cool crisp mornings and evenings, cooler breezes in the afternoon, leaves starting to turn, and if you’re in the woods, the sound of the Elk bugling across the hills. Fall is on the ground with fall sports taking the fields and courts with conviction, those turning leaves beginning to fall from the trees, small burrowing animals prepping their nests and summer vegetables ready for the picking.
Fall is always a magical time of the year as God’s creation prepares itself for a long winter's nap to wake refreshed and rejuvenated next spring. We too can take this time to refresh and rejuvenate ourselves. Take a walk or hike, get that fresh air into your lungs, sit and read a good book under a tree, soak up those late summer and early fall rays, let creation surround you, penetrate you, and fill you as it reminds you to rest. Remember, autumn is creation's way of saying “see, even a fall can be beautiful if you rest and let it refresh you.”
