Fall is in the air

Fall is in the air...It's cooler
Fall is in the air...I can smell wood burning in fireplaces, lingering and making me want to curl up with a good book and hot cocoa
Fall is in the air...Nature is receding into our version of Winter in South Texas
Fall is in the air...Football on a big screen, barbecue on the pit, good friends to share it with
Fall is in the air...A season we can enjoy without sweating or freezing
Fall is in the air...Turkey, gravy, dressing, family, friends and blessings
Fall is in the air...Time before the crazy, busy Christmas happenings
Fall is in the air...Pulling the windows up, turning off the air conditioning, and enjoying the breezes God created
Fall is in the air...An extra hour of sleep, enjoying the coolness of evening falling faster into our midst
Fall is in the air...Time to enjoy the gathering of family, time to reflect on the Lord's goodness
Fall is in the air...Life slowly slipping into the next year with excitement
Fall is in the air...Time for relationships to be mended, time for forgiveness to be given
Fall is in the air...Cookies in the oven, grandma's recipes to be shared
Fall is in the air...Reading a story and cuddling with your kids
Fall is in the air...Digging through the attic for decorations
Fall is in the air...Star gazing, mischief making, marshmallow's roasting
Fall is in the air...A reminder of God's hand on everything in the universe
Fall is in the air...A season for giving thanks
Fall is in the air...A time for everything...

Ecclesiastes 3

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.
