CHANGE!

As I got up this morning and looked out the window .... it was foggy so I could not see too much.... but as I was driving home from picking my son up from school.... The change was in full bloom in front of me.... So, this got me to thinking?

When God created fall..What was the purpose for Fall?  A time for change... a time for reflection... a time to take a step back and re-examine things.... Think about this...

The trees change colors to alert us humans to the change coming in the weather.... The colors green, yellow, orange, and red.... It's time to change the flowers we go from beautiful spring/summer flowers to hearty mums that can with stand the colder days and nights.... You start changing your routines... school starting...football games...after school activities no more lazy days of summer.... You change the appearance of your home, your clothing... .. What else does GOD want us to change....

As I thought more about this I got to thinking could he want us to use this time to have us personally change... Thinking ahead to the colder days and nights and the snow soon on it's way... We will have more time to reflect... read a good book... catch up on the movies.... but more time to enjoy each other... As the holidays approach families have more time to share with their loved ones time... Something so priceless in this busy world we live in.... families  make it a point to spend that time together to create more memories.... It's amazing how many people I know don't have time for much during the spring/summer but fall/winter time seems to stop..... it gives us more time to reflect on the changes we would like to make within ourselves.....the way we deal with others.... the way we talk with others.....

Change it's a good thing!!  God is showing us with the change of seasons...now might be a good time to reflect on how you can make changes within yourself....
