A happy September 13th to you, old chap!
Can it be? Is it fall already?
At the risk of sounding like every other female in Rutherford County, this weather makes me so happy! Fall is upon us (for the most part) and I've spent probably three hours just sitting outside reading my Bible, drinking coffee, and looking for any excuse to stay outside.
Yay for bonfires! Yay for leaves falling! Yay for sweaters!
Summer will always remain my favorite season, but fall is just something special. It's family time. It's studying time. It's wishing you had more time to curl up with that big blue blanket and read a good book. It's anticipation. It's colorful. It's transition. It's nostalgic. And for some reason, the best sunsets always happen during the fall. (or maybe I just really like sunsets).
Anyways… Maybe it's the holidays, but fall reminds me to take time to cultivate generosity. To just stop and realize that even if I don't have a lot, I always have something to give.
Yesterday, my sister Mayce and I decided to grab a few gifts for my Grandma because well, she's basically the best Nanny EVER and why not?
So we got her some of her favorite treats and delivered them to her home. We spent hardly any money, but that didn't matter at all. It was so special.
I want to keep doing that.
I have been given so much, when I don't deserve anything. I want to live with open hands and a generous heart.
Who knew one fall-weather day could serve to teach me about blessing others?
Well, even though it could be back in the upper-90s tomorrow (that's Tennessee for ya), take advantage of the upcoming season and live generously today. It's so worth it.
