October 2026 Monthly Rundown
If you spent any time watching the skies late this season, you might have noticed a few missing friends. Our yard was absolutely buzzing with local visitors this year, including this handsome male Black-chinned hummingbird who loved taking a rest on our dried fall lilac branches. Curiously, despite a busy garden, we didn’t spot a single copper-colored Rufous hummingbird pass through this season! Nature always keeps us guessing.
In this month’s journal update, I’m sharing a timely biblical reflection on the harvest, launching a brand-new handmade collection, and sharing a cozy, free pattern gift to keep your hands busy this fall. Grab a warm mug and let’s catch up!
October Biblical Thought: The Harvest
Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.” — Jeremiah 5:24
Reflection: When the pace of the world slows down, or when business feels quiet, it can be easy to fall into worry. But scripture reminds us that the rhythm of the seasons does not depend on our striving; it belongs entirely to the Lord. He is the one who commands the autumn rain and ensures the harvest in His perfect timing.
October invites us to shift our gaze away from our own daily anxieties and look upward to the One who is completely constant, faithful, and reliable. Even in the slow seasons, we can rest knowing He remains our steady provider.
