Autumn's Welcome

The weathered stone steps lead to a door adorned with a wreath of autumn’s richest hues—scarlet, gold, and russet—each leaf a quiet herald of the season’s embrace. Pumpkins rest at the threshold, their vibrant orange glow a symbol of harvest and homecoming, while pots of greenery soften the rugged walls with life and warmth. The lantern by the door waits to cast its gentle light, as if inviting loved ones in from the crisp air to the comfort within.
“Autumn’s Welcome” captures the beauty of transition, when summer’s abundance gives way to the stillness of fall. It is a portrait of hospitality, of gathering close, and of finding peace in the simple joys that adorn our everyday thresholds. The scene whispers of gratitude and the assurance that every season holds its own kind of beauty, its own invitation to pause and belong.
“They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me, and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them.” – Jeremiah 32:38–39
