Ah, Fall…

“…May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”
– Psalm 122:6-7

Guys, it’s my favorite time of year!

Ready? Set. Hike!

This morning, I donned my football jersey, and then spent the rest of the morning watching the Red River Rivalry with my family. Things got a little…Loud.

But, that’s how football goes, right?

It’s one of the beauties of home.

And, one of the beauties of fall.

When I picture my future home – whether living alone in my current state, or living with a beautiful blessing of family – I almost always picture it fall time…

Fantastic smells. Fun movies, shows, & specials. Cozy reading weather. Longer nights. And, football in the background: College on Saturdays. NFL Sundays after church.

Great food, yummy baked goods, and cozy times all around.

And, it brings me a sense of peace. The thought always makes my heart feel cozy & happy.

Because, I know that no matter what, my Abba will also be in my midst – whether alone or with family – my Abba will always be in my home, too.

Which is why, when I picture my future with a possible “him”, I don’t just picture watching football together. I picture serving God together, loving God together.

Because homes are for cozy, lovely times with those you love. (And, so is fall ♥)
