It's nearing that time of year again - September 21st - Acorn Day!

I was sitting on the front porch a few days ago and watched as a leaf from a tree high above made it's way effortlessly down, down to the ground and landed so softly. I was thankful for having the time to sit with a cup of coffee and watch the flight of that one lone leaf.

Soon the leaves will be changing into their fall colors and finding the courage to let go.

The leaves on this particular tree I've watched change through many seasons of my life. This is a huge oak, decades old, and sits in Mom's beautiful front yard on Cove Road in Chickamauga. I've decided that once again this year that Acorn Day will happen in this yard. The 21st is on a Sunday, and we'll have our treasure hunt, celebration, and story beginning at 3:00 pm. Please pray with me that the hearts of the children who come will be filled with wonder and thankfulness, that they will see God as the creator of all that is good and lovely and long to live their lives for his glory. Hope to see you there!
