I found some pools of time for baking amidst the busyness of autumn and tried the above pictured and linked recipe. It's a hit with the family and fairly easy to make. The pumpkin and accompanying spice pleasingly waft their cloying scents through the house while baking. Another delicious pumpkin recipe I've baked recently is the following recipe for Pumpkin Bars:

But what about "endings being beginnings," you ask? A former employer retired at the end of September. He was more than a boss to me; he was a friend and was like an older brother to me. He welcomed me into his family at a time when I was mentally wandering around trying to figure out who I was. Now begins his retirement and an entirely new life. May it be a fully blessed and abundant life of joy, rest and peace!
Another ending and beginning this month seemed inconsequential on the surface. Since we moved into this house we have stored the drinking vessels our children use in a large clear plastic bin in a low cabinet near the kitchen sink. While the location was convenient for our kids, over the years the frustration caused by the always-slightly-open cabinet door began to build up. Earlier this week during a conversation with one of my daughters I had the divinely inspired thought, simple as it was, to swap the contents of on low shelf of an upper cabinet with the children's drinking vessels. This has been a brilliant change and marks the end of the need for their cups to be low to the ground, and the beginning of "de-childproofing" our home. I can hardly wait to "see" what else I can stop doing or start doing related to that ending/beginning!
The final example that comes to mind at present is that my husband's job ends at the end of October. Thankfully as of this past week, he has two promising options which appear to be on the cusp of official job offers. Thanks so much for your prayers, and please, continue! We know that God has a plan for this, so it will work out, even if things do not go the way they seem to be going in regard to the two promising options. And the ending of the current job will mark the beginning of him not having that job anymore, which still qualifies, yes?
What endings/beginnings are happening in your life currently? About what may I be praying for you?
