My heart wells up with Hallelujah! A cool breeze is blowing outside and we can feel the fall approaching. It is Sunny with a high of 65 today in Boston. I can see you smiling, girls...as you know that I often relay the weather report on your voicemail.
As the cool fall air flows through New England this weekend, so does a breeze of Fresh Faith in my heart. I woke up this morning talking to Jeff about the Joy that abounds in my heart today... JOY for life and JOY in Jesus.
A few things that stir my heart.
1. Our CFCF training school students. (That this year would be a year of life-giving change for each one.)
2. my 3rd graders
3. The beauty of Autumn in New England
4. Long runs on the Charles River with the fallen leaves, crackling under my feet.
5. Crisp evening walks with my love, Jeff.
6. New life...baby Ava Elizabeth born on September 10th.
7. Drawing closer to God through reading His Word.
8. Apple picking in a month or so.
9. Driving out to Arena Farm to pick our Fall pumpkin and tasting the yummy fresh dipped caramel apples.
10. Our yearly visit from Ken and Jill!
God, you are so good to give us simple joys in life! What must HEAVEN be like?

Amen sister! Love the simple joys in life too. God is so good! Reading those things you listed made me sooo home-sick for New England. This was ALWAYS my favorite time of year. Our "fall" here will consist of more hot weather and brown leaves (no radiant reds, orange and golds). Sigh! The Crenshaw's spent the night last night and we were reminiscing about our Fall getaway weekend to NH. Fun memories with dear friends that we will always cherish!
oh your words refresh my little texan soul:) i am so happy for you sweet sarah, what a beautiful life you are living!
Sarah,
i am so glad you are enjoying the fall in Boston. i am going to miss most of fall this year since i am traveling in California. Enjoy it for me. Press some pretty leaves and send them to your friends in letters. And i will pick a peach and eat it for you.
