As a family front, we try to create our own traditions that align with our values. One of our favorite activities is having a fall-themed family day, where go out to the neighborhood park, pick apples, enjoying nature’s beauty. We often take the time to reflect on God’s creation, reminding ourselves of verses like (Psalm 104:24), which says, “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom, you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.”
We also dedicate an evening to serving others, perhaps by baking treats for neighbors or volunteering at a local shelter. It’s our way of spreading light and love in a season that’s all about community. I find encouragement in (Matthew 5:16), “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” By focusing on these positive activities, we make the season meaningful and memorable for our family.
