My dad owns 4 tents which he uses for camping

He uses all 4 at different times of the year, and each one is based on 1 of 4 different musical genres.

In spring he uses the jazz tent, in summer he uses the pop tent, in autumn he uses the classical tent….

But now is the winter of our disco tent.

There were 4 henchmen: Winter, Summer, Spring, and Autumn.

The boss stood before them.

“Winter,” he began. “I need you to stay cool in the face of pressure. Ice in your veins,” he said, patting his shoulder.

“Then there’s you, Summer,” he continued. “If the heat becomes too much for Winter, use that hot temper of yours to make sure the cops remember who they’re working for.

“As for you, Spring,” he chuckled, “this operation is gonna bring in a lotta *green.* Make sure that it keeps growing.”

He turned for the door as Autumn stood up.

“Boss!” he sputtered. “What about me?”

The boss turned back, shaking his head.

“Sorry, son. You’re just the Fall guy.”

What kind of car runs on leaves? An autumn-mobile!

Mary Poppins Decided To Grow Some Vegetables

Mary Poppins decides to grow some vegetables. When she picks her crop in the autumn, her carrots, potatoes, onions, and spring beans have all failed, but her cauliflowers have grown a treat.

She picks them, cooks some for Sunday lunch in a cheese sauce, and they taste wonderful.

After eating them for a week she notices two things. Firstly, her lips are full and glossy, unchapped, uncracked, and require absolutely no lip gloss to make them look full and pouty.

Secondly she has really awful bad breath and even her cat won’t come near her.

Pleased with her lips, however, and spotting a money-making idea, she contacts a big cosmetics company and explains about the lip-enhancing qualities of her cauliflower crop.

After a month of testing the company buys the entire crop of cauliflowers for a phenomenal amount and requests that Mary grow some more as soon as possible.

The company proceeds to make lipstick out of them but experiences problems in the final product manufacture. The lipstick does not gel completely into a stick and ends up very fragile crumbling easily. Quality controllers also find that, even as a lipstick, the bad breath remains and have to put it down as an unfortunate side effect.

As they are nearing their production deadline and adverts for this new wonder lip enhancer have hit the streets, the cosmetics company has no choice but to produce the packaging with the following caution.

Seasons of Surrender

Scripture:
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1

As summer heat fades and crisp air sets in, the world around us begins to change its colors. The once-green trees now blaze with hues of amber, scarlet, and gold. But the beauty of autumn does not last because the leaves are destined to fall. The tree must release what it has carried all year.

Autumn is God’s yearly sermon on surrender. It is as if the trees remind us that letting go is part of His design. The leaves once gave shade and life, but now the tree loosens its grip, trusting that in time new life will come.

In our own lives, God calls us to similar seasons of surrender. Perhaps it is the letting go of an old wound that has lingered too long. Maybe it is the surrender of control — the plans we tightly clutch because we’re afraid God might write the story differently than we would. Or it could be something good — a season, a ministry, or a role that once bore fruit but now has come to its natural close.

Letting go is never easy. Yet, when we release into the Father’s hands what we cannot keep, we create room for Him to bring forth what is new.

The prophet Isaiah spoke of this hope: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:18–19). Like the tree shedding its leaves, God calls us to trust that what looks like loss is actually preparation for greater life.

Reflection Questions:

  • What “leaf” is God asking you to release in this season?
  • Is there a burden, fear, or plan you’ve been holding too tightly?
  • How can you practice trust in God’s timing by loosening your grip?

Takeaway:
The beauty of autumn is not only in its colors but in its courage to let go. The same God who paints the leaves with fire is faithful to clothe your future with His goodness.

Harvest of Gratitude

Scripture:
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9

Autumn is not only about falling leaves; it is also about gathering harvest. Farmers know the rhythm well — months of sowing, watering, waiting, and watching finally give way to abundance. Barns are filled, and tables are set with thanksgiving.

In the same way, our spiritual lives move through seasons of sowing and reaping. Sometimes we labor in prayer or faithfulness, wondering if it makes a difference. Yet Paul reminds us: do not grow weary, for God promises a harvest in His perfect time.

Think about the small seeds you have planted this year: a word of encouragement, a moment of forgiveness, a prayer whispered in faith, a step of obedience that no one else saw. These seeds may seem small, but they are not forgotten. God, the Lord of the harvest, is always at work.

Autumn invites us to pause and notice the fruit He has already given. Has your faith grown deeper in hardship? Have friendships or family ties been strengthened? Has God answered a prayer in a way you did not expect? These are harvest blessings worth gathering into your heart with thanksgiving.

The psalmist writes, “Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy” (Psalm 126:5). Every tear, every prayer, every act of faith is a seed that God tends. Gratitude is how we carry the harvest, gathering His goodness into baskets of praise.

Reflection Questions:

  • What evidence of God’s faithfulness can you “harvest” from this past season?
  • How can you practice gratitude daily as a way of gathering the blessings God has given?
  • Who might need encouragement to keep sowing faithfully?

Prayer:
Lord of the harvest, thank You for the beauty of this autumn season. Teach me to surrender what I cannot keep and to open my hands to receive what You are growing. Fill my heart with gratitude for the harvest of grace You have already brought forth.— a living testimony of Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
