Autumn is overrated. So is life.
Well, perhaps that’s not quite fair. I do hate autumn, but my only complaint with life is my much-too-full schedule and the overwhelm that turns fun activities, like picking up a birthday present for a friend, into one more item for my to-do list.
But a morning spent wandering around town opens my heart to the little delights all around me, like the magic of rainy days and the beauty of human connection. It makes me wonder: why don’t I have this mindset all the time? What makes life so oppressive and overwhelming? Is the real meaning of living just checking off accomplishments? And when I discover the truth God has for me, how I can remain in this place of peace and delight despite the craziness of the world?
