The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.  Psalm 24:1

Today I’m in an autumn state of mind. I love this time of year and have decided that no matter what is going on in the world, I’m going to enjoy everything fall related.

It’s amazing that God gave us the four seasons and each one of us has a favorite. Some love Christmas and the beautiful holiday season. Some love the winter months, with the cold temperatures and snowfall. Others look forward to spring, when there are new beginnings. Flowers bloom, birds sing and we celebrate Easter, that blessed time of year. And then there is the summer, when we can enjoy a day at the beach or on the lake, sipping cold iced tea and watching fireworks on July 4th. Then there’s the fall, a time of thanksgiving for all God has given us.

All because the earth is the Lords.

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  Psalm 8:1

It’s so easy to get caught up in the everyday events that fill our lives, the daily race we run from the minute we rise until we go to bed at night. Instead, let this all become background noise as we focus on what is most important, God’s love and provision. Returning our love for God.

Take a minute today to reflect on the majesty of the Lord and this beautiful world He has created. I’ll leave you with some of my favorite fall pictures to remind you how wonderful the Lord is to each and every one of us.

Happy Fall Y’all! I plan on fixing up a pumpkin spiced latte, kick back and reflect on the goodness of God.
