I just love the fall! This season is one of my favorites because it’s so beautiful and also because I know it leads into my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Last weekend Cathy and I went with four of our grandkids to a pumpkin patch and corn maze out in Buckley. The sun was shining, the air was crisp and the trees were vibrant colors of red, yellow, and orange. It was a beautiful day.
As we ate carmel apples the kids ran through the pumpkin patch checking out the biggest pumpkins. My grandsons even talked me into taking a “monster truck” ride and it was great! But the best thing we did together was go through the corn maze. Before we began we had to get a question sheet with 10 questions on it. There were also 10 sign posts inside the maze corresponding to each question. In order to continue in the right direction we had to answer each question correctly. We had several categories of questions we could choose from such as: movies, history, sports, etc. We chose the category, the Bible. Inside the maze we went, laughing and running through the cornstalks. As we got to each question I was amazed at how many answers my grandkids got right!
It made my heart so happy to see firsthand that my grandchildren are being taught the Word of God. The Bible has been such an important part of my own spiritual journey and I’m thrilled that it is being planted in the hearts of my legacy.
It was a perfect fall day for me. I guess it’s true that some of the best things in life can be seen through the eyes of little children. I felt like a kid again myself as I ran through the corn maze with them. I’m thinking I should hang out with them more often!
