Welcome September!
For me, this month has always meant the promise of cooler weather, the leaves changing colors, the start of football season, and birthdays—lots and lots of birthdays. My Mom and grandfather both celebrated birthdays this month. Besides family, I have known more people with September birthdays than all the other months put together. Even I have a September birthday!
For decades, my Mom was known as “the candy lady” because she gave out sweet treats every Sunday after church. For the first time two years ago, we had to face September 13th, Mom’s birthday, without her. But we couldn’t let the day pass without celebrating in some way. In honor of her birthday, my family decided to attend Mom’s church and give candy out after the service. That September day, many people shared their memories of Mom with us.
Even if you don’t have a birthday this month, the promise of cooler weather is enough to call for a celebration. In my neck of the woods, we are usually extremely ready to bid the hot, humid temperatures goodbye. In recognition of September and the start of football, I am giving away a DVD of the great movie, Facing the Giants. This movie can be seen by all ages, and you do not have to be a fan of football to enjoy it. This story entertains, touches people’s hearts and is not easily forgotten.
Additionally, this giveaway includes the book, Oregon Weddings by Kathleen E. Kovach. Can Skye rescue a woman who happens to be the mother who abandoned him? Meranda is on the hunt for family treasure, can she find it without help? Glenys must face her biggest fear, will anyone be able to get her through it? These three stories will pull you in, and include faith in the mix.

September means cooler camping days for me.
Having camped in the height of summer with intense humidity, I agree Dianna, it is much more fun to camp during the cooler weather! Blessings!!
Happy September birthday! No one in my immediate family has a September birthday.
Thanks, Dianna. You never know, you might yet have a family member born in September, blessings!
To me, September means back to school time!
It does to me, too, Nancy, although I am sure children aren’t too happy about it! Blessings!!
cooler weather, falls coming
Yes, it is Kathy! My mom and my birthday were 15 days apart. On most years, we usually noticed a definite change in the weather. Most of the time, it was still summerish on her day, but when mine got here, we could feel the cooler weather starting to come. Blessings!!
September means cooler weather and the beginning of Fall.
I always enjoyed the fall weather, Wen. The period when the heat has gone, but the cold weather hasn’t come yet is wonderful! Blessings!!
September is very important to me I celebrate my wedding anniversary on September 21st. It will make 12 years this year. It’s also my youngest son’s birthday month.
Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and Happy Birthday to your son! Blessings!!
September means to me I get a year older 🙂
Me too Robin! Blessings!!
September means cooler weather is coming.
Yes it does Regina. Blessings!
My birthday and all the bday freebies and time off to be lazy while the family does stuff around the house!!
Oh, Debra, my Mom had so much fun with those. We discovered them for the last 5 birthdays she had. The years she turned 87 thru 91 (she almost made it to 92), she was thrilled to go the different places that offered her birthday treats. Blessings!
September means the holidays are coming up soon!
Yes, Carolsue they are just around the corner. Blessings!
September is the month of my wedding anniversary and it means i can decorate my house for fall!
Congratulations, Kristy, on your wedding anniversary. We haven’t had any September weddings or anniversaries, but you never know what the future may bring! Blessings!!
It means time with family, football, fall festivals and bonfires
Oh, Margaret, those are all such fun things to do. September brings in such happy things! Blessings!!
September means cooler weather! Which is good. 🙂
Yes, it does. At our house yesterday, the temperature climbed to 90 degrees. Today the weather has returned to “normal” for this time of year! Blessings!!
September means back to school and staying on top of schedules.
When school starts, lots of extra activities for children start, too. Keeping everyone’s schedules straight can make life a lot easier! Blessings, Sarah!!
Love the cooler waether
Leland Lee, I really long for the cooler weather, also–just not too cool! Blessings!!
Apple picking
Apple orchards ready for harvest have always been a sign of fall for me, too, Xia Lee! Blessings!!
Fall means the fun holidays are coming like thanksgiving and Christmas.
Rosalind, I adore it when the fall wreaths, turkeys and gourds come out for decorations. They are then followed by Christmas. September ushers in those fun things! Blessings!!
Football games with my boys.
Family memories are the best! Blessings LeAnn!!
What September means to me? Cool crisp air, tree’s turning pretty colors, and great sleeping weather too.
I completely agree with you June! Blessings!!
September means letting go.
I agree Anne. As the third chapter of Ecclesiastes says, “to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven….” Blessings!!
September means the end of the hot AZ summers and the start of my favorite time of year.
You aren’t kidding about those hot AZ summers Megan! Blessings!!
September means pumpkin spice smoothies, sweaters, and snuggling. It also means raking leaves which is the worst.
You are right about the good things Deanna! When the leaves started falling at one place we lived, it took 50 bags to rake them all up–a week later, our yard looked like we had never raked! Blessings!!
the fall color and then perparing my bed for winter
Desiree, my dad loved to grow roses, and he spent lots of time taking care of them. When fall came, he always carefully “put his roses to bed,” covering them to withstand the cold winter. Blessings!!
All Fall means to me is winter is coming. I hate the cold. My cats hate the cold.Even my car hates it.
A fond memory I have is my mom telephoning me during the winter. She would tell me both she and her kitty were so cold they were snuggled together with a blanket! Blessings Audrey!!
Celebrating my baby girl that I lost. Her birthday is September 28. She would have been 16 this year.
Kelly, I am so very sorry. May the good Lord wrap His arms of comfort around you and give you peace….blessings.
Enjoying the weather and being able to go fishing, and also watch football.
All three of those sound like fun, Shakeia! Blessings!!
It means Fall and pomegranates.
Until you wrote it, Leela, I hadn’t realized pomegranates start to be harvested in the fall! Blessings!!
September means the beginning of fall and then the onset of the holiday season.
It is coming soon, Sherri. I can almost smell the turkey baking! Blessings!!
