Thank you for the gift of this season.Īs summer draws to a close, I give thanks for a season of bright sun, long days, and the opportunity to spend time outdoors alone or with family and friends. As autumn days grow shorter, I ask you to help me to avoid procrastination instead, guide my heart to respond more quickly, help me to help others with less hesitation or doubt.
