A Season of Gratitude
There is a season and a time for everything. As the pages of our calendars turn to November, we enter the special month of thanksgiving. The earth has come alive with a vibrancy of rich sights, smells, and tastes to quicken the senses before the winter settles in. As we meditate on this beauty surrounding us, may our souls feel gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
