I love new beginnings - each new month, each new season, each new year. And somehow the start of September has become even a more significant beginning for me than New Year’s Day. With six grown kids and ten grandkids and two great-grands, the beginning of September, the start of the beginning of Autumn, always brings significant changes in our routines and in our lives. It’s a time for change and new focuses. This is true for our family members, and it continues to be true for me.
It’s good to have lofty goals and desires, but I was also reminded this past week of the simple things that God desires for us. As I begin this new month, this new season, I am reminded to be faithful. Each day. To keep my mind and my heart focused on Him above all. To spend time learning and soaking up His love. To let this love flow through me in simple ways … to my precious hubby and family, and to all who He brings my way.

“Trust in the Lord and do good.
Dwell in the land, and cultivate faithfulness.”
(Psalm 37:3 NASB)
