Fall From My Front Door

Fall From My Front Door (Before Kev gets to it)

   (Wednesday) On the way home from Hampton, VA we talked several times about how beautiful the trees were.  We love the changing colors. Not so much the cold weather that is coming.
    We went straight to church. Kev lead the Adult Bible Study and I am on the team leading our children and youth with the Christmas Play.
    When we got home Kev commented on the leaves. We couldn't really see them but we could feel them under our feet. I said,"They feel cushiony." He said, something like, "ugh".

    The next day when Kev was leaving for church, I went out to pray him away. Praying for Kev when he leaves the house has been something I've tried to do for years. I also try to meet him at the door when he gets home. I'm without a job at this point in my life so I get to do it everyday. If you don't pray your spouse or kids away I suggest you try it. My prayer is that God will protect him. That he will have a good day and get the things he needs to get done, done and that he will love me and God more when he gets home than he did when he left. 

    As we were going out the door, He made that noise again. Then he said, "Look at all those leaves!" I said, "I know aren't they beautiful. It's fall." He was not as impressed with our leaves as he was the ones we watched fall the other day. He said, "That's because they were in someone else's yard."
 This is an area we have had to learn to agree to disagree. So I look at them, and walk around in them until he blows them to the borders. I just love the sound of crunching leaves.
   
    (Saturday) Kev has blown the leaves into the border. Sandy (our pug pomeranian) loves it because that is where she likes to go potty. Sandy and I went for our morning walk down the road in the neighborhood Monday morning, I walked through the leaves on the road. I kicked some over to the side of the road. It was fun! I may be old(er) but I still love the sound leaves make when you walk through them.
     Glad I took the time to walk through the leaves yesterday. The rain came and took that beautiful sound away. Kev is glad he got to the leaves before it rained. It's all good!

Have a Great Day!
