"Love one another with brotherly affection; Outdo one another in showing honor." - Romans 12:10
Sitting back in a corner of my local Starbucks, I reflect on all the things that are delightful to me despite the chaos precariously whirling my little world upside down.
I'm sure you can relate. For a moment I block out the hefty issues in front of me and choose to lean into the simplicity of ... the weather. No joke.
I welcome thoughts of my favorite season gently riding in on the heels of late-summer's flat air thick with car-fumes, last minute barbecues and the frenzied preparations for the next school year. The coolness, the crispness, the pumpkins, the spices...the smell of bonfire smoke in my hair.
I welcome those thoughts because it reminds me that the world doesn't revolve around me. In fact - life goes on, and that is why I am where I am in this season - because its time to grow.
Before I go on, I want to share a story.
Its not a very nice one and it most certainly doesn't make me look good. But here it goes.
