Throughout all that driving around, I saw tons of lights, decorations, and people; heard many bells ringing and Christmas carols playing; and fought lots of traffic. It was sensory overload for this minimalist.
Our Advent devotionals last week focused on getting prepared for the holidays so that we can rest in Christ. I am not finished with all my holiday preparations, but I chose to start my rest a little early. And so this week, I've focused on the natural beauty that God has on display every day. Gazing on things like the fall leaves helps the season feel much less hectic. It was the type of rest my sensory overloaded brain needed.

Thank you for the picture, and for the reminder to rest in Him.
You are welcome. I'm glad I took that picture when I did. The leaves became even more colorful this past weekend, but I failed to capture them on film before they were blown away by the thunderstorms.
