It's Finally Here!

One of my favorite days of the year has finally arrived. The first real cold front has now moved through the north Texas area. It marks the end of another blistering hot Texas summer and early fall. I know that it will most likely get warm again next week, but let's just enjoy the crisp air while it is here.

Every window in the house was opened yesterday to welcome cool air and while my wife Courtney was napping under two blankets I sat watching the rain pass through waiting to get outside. Once our two boys were up from naps, we got out for a family walk. It was awesome! I just felt truly happy.

For me this cold front marks the beginning of a new season. With a busy fall trip schedule followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is easy to look ahead and miss what this season, what this day has to offer. To often I look past what God is trying to show me today in order to plan for tomorrow. I miss what He wants to say to me, because I am thinking about what I can say to others.

So enjoy it today. Get outside while the air is cool. Go for a walk and listen to God. He wants to talk to us today!
