A Warm Day in November

Thank you, God, for the warmth of the sun and the leaves falling like rain. Thank you for the boy who ran bare-chested on the greenway, and the boy who ran to each bench to take a break. Thank you for little hands that are able to toss and catch balls. Thank you for the little voice that thanked me for washing and putting away his pajamas last night - that was enough to last me a lifetime of laundry! Thank you for the joy of words. For me, words tie together the experiences and emotions of the day. They help me connect to the past while I'm being moved forward through the changes of life.

Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12
