November 2025 with God’s grace
It is time to be moving in doors and making home more hostess-worthy again. The chill in the air not only brings more vests, jackets, scarves, and hats, out of the closets, but also hope for gathering times to come.
With All Saints’ Day November first and celebrated Sunday the 2nd this year, there is hope in the air. So much fear is being stoked by the social media loops and the 24/7 news reels yet, I wanted my four letter word to be more hopeful so the scripture verses all have both fear and with in them. With God we don’t need to fear for He is in control. The days are becoming a lot shorter so there is more time to seek shelter, comfort, and reflective thoughts. I choose to keep hopefulness in my mind so I have a few scripture verses I have been memorizing to leave with you.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Proverbs 3: 5-7
Even in the midst of a troubled world the beauty around us reminds us that God is still with us and good. When we feel heavy with the cares of the world it’s important to speak God’s true word aloud.
Psalm23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Deuteronomy31;6
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.
Happy Thanksgiving on the 27th. Happy gathering also!
So much to be grateful for…
