Halloween

Reflection

“Autumn is the time of year when Mother Nature says, ‘Look how easy, how healthy, and how beautiful letting go can be.’” –Toni Sorenson

 Prayer

God of Creation,

We marvel today at the change of the seasons. While change is often unwelcome, today it is not. We feel the air turning brisk as we walk down the street; we see leaves letting go, catch the scent of a fire nearby, and—just like that—a change of perspective or a memory triggered. Thank you, God, that we can still be awakened by this world you have given. Help us let go of what hinders, in ways that are healthy and beautiful, in keeping with your good designs. Amen.

 Call to Action

It’s Halloween, after all. Let go of guilt: treat myself and others today with a token of sweetness. Delight in the children and welcome the transition to Fall.
