A Fall to Remember

 

            I feel so blessed to live in my home state of North Carolina.  Though I have had the privilege to travel to some beautiful places, there is no place any more beautiful than the Tar Heel state.  Part of the beauty we have here in North Carolina is that we truly experience all the seasons.  I love all the seasons, but the season of Fall is my favorite.

            When Fall brings a chill in the air and  the color of the leaves start to change, it calls me to remember.    I especially remember when the month of October turns the calendar.  Two big things happened in my life in October:  I gave my heart to Jesus Christ and I began to give my heart to my wife, Ann, as I fell in love with her.    When the leaves change in October, I remember that Jesus changed my heart.  When the Fall chill in the air comes, I remember how my heart was warmed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

            I encourage you to remember what Christ has done in your life. Remember your conversion and give thanks to God.  One of the ways we remember our conversion is through telling others what Christ has done in our life.    In the Book of Acts, we hear about Paul’s conversion on the Damascus Road in Acts 9.  In Acts 22, we hear the apostle Paul tell of his conversion to the people at Jerusalem.   Telling others about what Christ has done in our life is something that is fitting whatever the season.   -   Pastor Randy Wall     

PRAYER

            Lord, I offer prayers of thanksgiving for saving me from my sins and for the people that told me about you.   Help me to remember to tell others about what you have done in my life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
