October

October, hello darling. 

We've all been waiting on you!

You took your time and we sweated through summer 2015 but now we know that your mornings hold chilly promise of actual comfortable hoodie wearing (I've forced the issue prior to this day and shed many a hoodie) and that it is officially OKAY to reaallly start to look forward to the fun holidays that are all just around the corner! It's more than okay..it's a cause for celebration! Halloween is in 30 days! Thanksgiving is in..um. I'm going to have to Google a calendar to count the days...but it's soon!!

We love your oranges and browns and beige-y beauty. We love your promises of beautiful pumpkins, apple & cinnamon everything, gatherings with friends & family for any reason possible and sweet kiddos and babies taking to the streets that one fateful night in search of the wonderfulness that we ALL know a King sized Snicker candy bar to be.

We are grateful that each year of this life, you come back around and we are reminded that there is so much beautiful life to be lived, looked forward to & expected and held close to our hearts. That in the ending three months of this year, we are blessed with God's Love and Grace as we always are and that we all have the opportunity to make the most of every day carrying, contemplating and serving love to each other in any way possible. It matters. Everything does! 

Challenge!! I am going to encourage you to literally pick apart each day of these next few months. Take time to be as fully present as possible. To notice all the little things. To tell people from the heart how thankful you are for them and how important & loved they are. To be weird, odd and happy. To buy Christmas gifts and stand in whatever store or aisle you are on and think about that person and why they mean so much to you. Write a card telling them so. Take time to sit and remember your favorite memories and take time to make brand new ones! Take time to serve to your biggest ability in any way that you know how to. Make a difference in someone's life and in this world we are all living in. Most importantly,

I'd like to encourage you to spend time seeking our Father God. The Creator who made all of this life possible. The One who loves us all in a way that is impossible to wrap your mind around. The One who cherished you before you were even born. The One who created you so special and worthy. I'm so grateful for Him. For His Grace. For His Love. For the chance He gives everyday to do and be and know something more.

If you are willing to take this challenge with me, I'd love to hear all the ways you are making each day count! I'd love to get to chat and visit and encourage each other! Leave me a comment here or visit me on FB @ https://www.facebook.com/kristin.davison.98

Love and many many happy days that include hoodie wearing,

K
