After the rains rumbled through here on Friday, the winds came, ushering the sun in with it and now it feels like autumn - cooler temps, beautiful foliage, the smell and rustle of fallen leaves, puffy white clouds and blue skies. Oh, I do like autumn!
These beauties started themselves from last year's seed and have been blooming all summer long.

This will happen in my kitchen before Christmas...
I. CANNOT. WAIT!

Webster's definition of sacrifice:
'...the act of giving up; destroying; permitting injury to;
or foregoing something valued for the sake of something having a more pressing claim.'
How sacrifice ties in with servanthood!
Easy? Absolutely not!
This was our Sunday School class discussion - I was blessed!

You inspire me with all your fun projects you are always into but I just don't have the creative juices you do. I also love the cooler crisp days although summer is still my fave.
