Too often the holiday season brings stress. It’s not only the hectic pace, but unresolved problems in our relationships which cause frustration.
“ And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
Ephesians 5:32
Let’s face it, it’s been a tough year for anyone on planet Earth. Please consider resolving differences, finding forgiveness and showing kindness to your loved ones.
“Lyric night of the lingering Indian summer, Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing. Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects, Ceaseless, insistent. The grasshopper’s horn, and far off, high in the maples The wheel of a locust slowly grinding the silence, Under a moon waning and worn and broken, Tired with summer.” -Sarah Teasdale
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) was an American Poet
The perfect weather of Indian summer lengthened and lingered, warm sunny days were followed by brisk nights with Halloween a presentiment in the air.” -Wallace Stegner
