Smooth and comforting. But downright nasty when cold.

I am “Fall Flowers”.

The last gasp of summer!

[BenLurkin]

I am “Changing Leaves”

Okay, but it sounds super zen-like.

[PROCON]

You Are Fall Flowers

Beautiful yet often forgotten.

Leaves

I knew this

The smells of autumn. Those brisk nights. Wood fires at campfires. The colors. The sounds.

Sigh

Give It All You’ve Got

Bible in a Year:

• Proverbs 25–26
• 2 Corinthians 9

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Scaling. It’s a term used in the world of fitness that allows room for anyone to participate. If the specific exercise is a push-up, for example, then maybe you can do ten in a row, but I can only do four. The instructor’s encouragement to me would be to scale back the push-ups according to my fitness level at the time. We’re not all at the same level, but we can all move in the same direction. In other words, she would say, “Do your four push-ups with all the strength you have. Don’t compare yourself with anyone else. Scale the movement for now, keep doing what you can do, and you may be amazed in time you’re doing seven, and even one day, ten.”

When it comes to giving, the apostle Paul was clear: “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). But his encouragement to the believers in Corinth, and to us, is a variation of scaling. “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart” (v. 7). We each find ourselves at different giving levels, and sometimes those levels change over time. Comparison is not beneficial, but attitude is. Based on where you are, give generously (v. 6). Our God has promised that the disciplined practice of such cheerful giving brings enrichment in every way with a blessed life that results in “thanksgiving to God” (v. 11).

By:  John Blase Reflect & Pray

How would you describe your giving: Cheerful? Reluctant? Under compulsion? Not comparing yourself to anyone else, what might cheerful giving look like?

Generous God, I want to be a cheerful giver, to give it my best effort. I know that discipline in this area is crucial. Give me the wisdom not to compare, the strength to sow generously, and the faith to leave the results in Your hands.

[Biggirl]

Hi!

“I Am Fall Flowers”.

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Luvie. The quiz appeared without boxes; couldn’t choose anything. Boo.

[MoochPooch]

Whoops, I figured it out. (I’m apple cider.)

Please disregard my earlier post. (Sorry!)

[MS.BEHAVIN]

“Pretty, but soon dead.”

WTH kind of a thing is that to say in a quiz?
Not railing at YOU, Sissy!
That kind of set me off, ya know?
Sheesh!

[Grimmy]

I don’t even have to take the test.

I’m the part that makes you have to go out on a Saturday and rake up leaves instead of spending time relaxing and watching college football like you would rather do.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Wednesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Luvie for this morning's thread.

You Are Warm Nights by the Fire. Peaceful and romantic. The best part of fall. That's the result I got.

So, how's everyone doing this morning?
