Autumn

As with earthly seasons, life also has it’s seasons. We reach points in life where we instinctively know that something needs to change.  It’s time for this, that or the other.

Autumn is probably the season that gives me this feeling the most, particularly September; maybe it’s because of the drastic mind shift from looking back at the diminishing summer to the horizon of winter, Christmas, new year.

Change is in the air.

Autumn, with it’s golds, reds, orange hues and crispy acoustics, reminds me that there can be beauty at every stage of a journey, of life – it just changes, if we take the time to step back and appreciate it.

I think back over the year so far, the ups and downs. I think ahead to the new year, only a few months ahead…..autumn truly feels like a cross roads of sorts.

Maybe nothing needs to change.

Maybe autumn is simply a good time to reflect on how things are going; a time to look forward to more of the same as the seasons change; a time to be grateful for our harvest so far.

Autumn can be a quite a reflective time of the year, helping us to sail into the new year with a clearer sense of direction, rather than the new year feeling like the ‘hot seat’ where you suddenly need to re-evaluate and make plans because everyone else is doing it, seemingly.

So as the scarves, jumpers and boots come to the forefront, hot chocolate orders start flying off the counters, and the central heating dials start getting a bit of action; autumn, here we come.

  5. Manisha – Hi, this is Manisha. A blogger and free spirit. I believe writing is a blessing to me! It makes me feel complete & better as a person. For me, every little experience counts in life. Incidents I come across always inspire me to share my experience. I think, if my blogs can encourage a single person in some way or spread little happiness I will feel truly blessed. Life is too short to get caught up in negative thoughts, let's radiate some positive vibes together! Thanks for visiting my blogs, spending time with me, and supporting me! Love you all 💛✨✨

  6. Beverley – BVI – Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine.
