Virtual Trunk Show #2: Autumn

October 11, 2011 by ivoryspring

I grew up in Southeast Asia where there is only one season, for all practical purposes – a long and never ending summer! We do get a slightly cooler rainy season toward the end of the year, but for the most part, it is hot and humid all year round. You can imagine the sense of novelty when I first experienced for the first time the colder seasons in the Northern Hemisphere after I came to the States.   Over the years, the autumn season has become a special one for me…

The glories of autumn infuse my heart with much thankfulness as my mind starts to reflect on the months and even years past.  To me, autumn is more than the glorious golden foliage outside the window, it is a season of much reflection within.

“… Count your blessings, name them one by one;  Count your blessings, see what God hath done.  Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.”
