Autumn in My Heart

Autumn In My Heart

Autumn Blue

Pumpkin

My prayer for rain as summer fades...

The setting of summer is on the horizon. It is fading cruelly, leaving the feverish heat with me and no promise of rain. My world has turned gray, dead, and dreary as it thirsts for a drink. What once was green is no longer, as summer has lost its color. I sit inside where it is cool, begging for joyous tears from heaven, while watching everything stand still. Still…very still, except the occasional falling of the leaves… diminishing from the lack of beloved rain.

My heart and soul yearns to be quenched. Autumn is there, right there… I cannot reach it, and it cannot greet me… with its beautiful colors, moist earth, and its gentle cooling. My heart is pining for the buoyancy of autumn.

Sweet rain you are welcome here… to sprinkle me with comfort and strength...filling my world with color again. Bring autumn trailing behind you and leave it here with all its glory, brilliance, and perfumes. Spread your rainbow bouquet of sodden shades from your color palette, painting my world again…bringing back life at a time when one season is fading into another.

farewell summer~goodbye

 welcome rain is my prayer

hello cool autumn

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need."  Hebrews 4:16 KJV

What I’m lovin’ today~

Autumn in my heart
Prayers for rain
Looking onward
Talking to Jesus
Knowing that Jesus will hear my cry
Knowing that Jesus will answer
~


Blessings of sweet rain to everyone in need!

  16. Love those tiny little pumpkins! I enjoyed your thoughts on Autumn. It's my favorite season. I wasn't quite ready for it this year because our Summer was nil. It felt like it went from Spring straight to Fall. I'm ready now though, bring it on!
