The 3 Secrets that Turn Your October Around

 

‘After the keen still days of September, the October sun filled the world with mellow warmth…

The maple tree in front of the doorstep burned like a gigantic red torch.

The oaks along the roadway glowed yellow and bronze.

The fields stretched like a carpet of jewels, emerald and topaz and garnet.

Everywhere she walked the color shouted and sang around her…

In October any wonderful unexpected thing might be possible.”

― Elizabeth George Speare.

 

And all that felt true this morning, passing under the leaves heading  home.

The trees down through the woods filled all summer with sun and now they spill with it.

The trees of the fields, they dance now with the glory before Him.

In October, what is real is seen: even the trees burn with primeval fire for their Maker and First Love. 

Now is not the time to be demure in joy. 

In October any wonderful unexpected thing might be possible.

Joy isn’t ever in a season, but in the way we see.

His Grace, His mercy, His love — saturating everything.
