We are now in autumn, the season of harvests and harmonious fellowships. May we remember to tend to our spirits, as we strive to be thoughtful and peaceful, generous and healing, openhearted and open-minded, as Christ was before us...

“The white towers and golden domes of the cathedral gleamed out against the sapphire sky. The gorgeous autumn flowers, in the beds round the house, were slumbering til morning. The silence of the earth seemed to melt into the silence of the heavens. The mystery of earth was one with the mystery of the stars.” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Go, sit upon the lofty hill, / And turn your eyes around, / Where waving woods and waters wild / Do hymn an autumn sound. / The summer sun is faint on them - / The summer flowers depart - / Sit still – as all transform'd to stone, / Except your musing heart.” - Elizabeth Barrett Browning, “The Autumn”

“The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.” - 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

“Within you lives the spirit of thanksgiving. It is the assurance that you are from God and one with Him. It is the lighted sign that all things are given to you from God, and His presence satisfies your wants and answers your needs. God is your provider and for that you thank Him in the depth of your heart and in the power of your being.” - Hanna Jacob Doumette, Psalms For Today
