Autumn

Autumn is the the beautiful blossom chosen to grace my garden today. I have always thought that her name is so appropriate. She reminds me of a warm sunny October day when the trees are at the peak of their beauty. She seems to be confident yet humble, qualities that I truly admire especially when they occur together. Autumn is friendly and kind and yet she has a competitive edge. She has played in volleyball and softball leagues on teams opposing my husband, so I have had the opportunity to see how she gets into the game :) Combine her competitive nature with her superior intelligence, and she is almost impossible to beat at a word game or puzzle. She has the highest scores of most of my facebook friends even in games that seem to be mostly chance. (How do you do that?) She is quite talented musically as well. At times I really miss her leading the children's choir and the music for VBS at my church, but God has moved her on to other ministries where I am sure she is serving Him well. Autumn is a devoted wife and mother. She manages her family life, home and activities well. She is an inspiration. Autumn, my prayer for you is that the world around you will be as beautiful to you as you are to the world around you.
