"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

ReFRESH ourselves in the AUTUMN of LIFE

Just a few treasures of how I plan to spend the celebration of this day

๐Ÿ’™Come celebrate with me๐Ÿ’™


only one of His Truths that I receive as I

 ReFresh 

my mind & soul this autumn

of this year - 2026!


as I gaze upon the beauty of the

St. Croix River

in this my favorite season

giving God thanks and praise

for who He is and all He does for me


on the beginning of my 

72nd YEAR

of life

๐Ÿ’™

as

Jesus continues to lead me

as

He prepares me more for

HOME

HE preserves me

HE sustains me

HE carries me

HE

gives me

strength, Grace, and love

as

HE

breathes on me and

empowers me

one more 

day

to

live for

HIS Glory & service

wherever

HE

leads me

I WILL FOLLOW

๐Ÿ’™

I couple more delights of mine

from a past & a recent




Autumn Peace with God


I have shared the following one before


but it's one of my very favorites!

the verse

the pines

the companions

the peace of my lakeside view

AND THE "EVEN IFS"

Every one is true -

and the best advice to myself 

today & always

๐Ÿ’™

Since my title included the

Autumn of Life

I'd wanted to close with what

I found as the core meaning:

{as if all of the above has not shown you yet}

๐Ÿ’™
  • Harvest and Wisdom: Just as autumn is the harvest season in nature, this phase represents reaping the rewards, knowledge, and life experience accumulated over the years.
  • Reflection and Peace: It is often viewed as a calmer, more contemplative time focused on appreciating simpler pleasures, family, and legacy.
  • Letting Go: Like trees shedding leaves, it symbolizes releasing past grievances, petty worries, and unnecessary stress to focus on what truly matters.
  • Bittersweet Transition: It acknowledges the natural cycle of aging, reminding us of time's passage while highlighting the unique dignity and beauty of later life stages.  

ENJOY YOUR AUTUMN! 
    {I sure hope to ReFresh my life}
    ๐Ÿ’™

To my faithful visitors;
all of you who spend your valuable time here with me
I do appreciate you so much!

Thank you for taking your time to visit!

Love, Sweet blessings & Hugs!

DIOS TE BENDIGA
GOD BLESS YOU

always
