Look how excited I was!

This has nothing to do with the above picture, but I wanted to say a prayer for my friends who are feeling the darkness of the season — Seasonal Affective Disorder, they call it, but I call it, “Why are we still living in New England when there are so many warmer, viable options?”  But, here we are, and the gorgeous autumn that we just experienced as a perk of the region is being followed, as it always is, by months of dark and cold.

Hang in there.

Spring will be here in a few short months, and in the meantime, God loves you as much as he did on the most brilliant summer day, even if your tan has faded and you have gained ten pounds and don’t get out of your pajamas for days at a time.
