This past week the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage said to me rather casually, “I guess you know today is November?” She’s always joking with me and I assumed this was one of her jokes.

There are some things I don't need to know and that is one. 

Another problem I have with Fall is the weather. All summer long, I have
grown accustomed to wearing short sleeve shirts. I like short sleeve 
shirts. When Fall comes, particularly November, the weather changes and 
I need to step up my game to long sleeve shirts. 

I don't have any problem so to speak with long sleeve shirts. I just
prefer a short sleeve shirt. But you know the weather. It demands long 
sleeve shirts in the Fall. Of course, when fall disappears and winter 
steps up, the long sleeve shirt is transferred into a sweater. And you 
know what sweaters are like. 

I would not mind the Fall so bad if it wasn't so busy. Beginning with
the Halloween celebration, whatever that is, and going all the way down 
the road to the New Year's Eve celebration is one celebration after 
another. 

As I was musing on all of these aspects of the Fall season, my wife
brought me a hot apple cider tea. It is one of my favorite drinks. She 
said as she brought it to me, “I know Fall is here and I thought you 
might enjoy this hot apple cider tea.” 

All summer long, I had forgotten about this favorite drink of mine. When
she brought it to me, I could not keep a smile off of my face. After my 
first sip, I sat back in my chair and said loudly so everybody in the 
house could hear, “I'm glad it's Fall.” 

While I was drinking my hot apple cider tea, I mused on a verse from the
Psalms. “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and 
be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). 

Every day brings it some reason to rejoice in the Lord. My job is to
find that reason.
