~Welcome Autumn~
“III Autumn
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now for the harvest! All is rich and full;
The swelling grape is ripe upon the vine,
So may his blessing sanctify your fall,
And old love be remembered in new wine.
Now may your ears be open to his call,
You stand on holy ground, look up and see:
His love burns red and gold in every tree.”
~Malcolm Guite
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dear friends as we enter this new season I hope you will take a moment to read something wonderful, bake an apple treat, watch an episode of Gilmore Girls, and take a walk among the golden leaves to marvel at God’s wonderful creation.🍂

~Creating Beauty In The Chaos~
“If you have been afraid that your love of
beautiful flowers and the flickering flame of the candle is somehow less spiritual than living in starkness and ugliness, remember that He who created you to be creative gave you the things with which to make beauty and the sensitivity to appreciate and respond to His creation."
~Edith Schaeffer

~Marvel~
In this sweet period in-between the seasons I pray I will not rush to the next season, but indeed pause, to celebrate the current marvels of plant and animal life.

As someone who adores Autumn this task is rather challenging, but one that will teach me to seek out the beauty of September.

“Happily we bask in this warm September sun, which illuminates all creatures.” – Henry David Thoreau

May you also embrace the beauty of the in-between.

~On Head Covering~ Throughout history women in the

~On Head Covering~
Throughout history women in the church have taken to the command of 1 Corinthians 11:3-16. But if you enter a church today it is evident this tradition is abandoned.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fascinated, my husband and I began to study the scriptures and the history of head coverings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our studies it became quite clear that this wasn’t some ancient cultural notion, but indeed a command that honours God and His creation order.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So why do I now cover during worship?
It is simple: His word is clear.
Head covering has been the norm throughout church history. We are currently the exception.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you ponder this I would like to leave you with this reminder:
“And do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
so that you may prove what the will of God is,
that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
~Romans 12:2
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨I have made a highlight of resources and have linked my lovely head covering✨ PS. Quotes shared to demonstrate how this practice has been a part of the church all throughout history. Keep in mind the time period when reading the langue used and practice chewing an idea and spitting out the seeds 💕

When I first became a traditional homemaker I wish I encountered this creed. It would have helped me understand how valuable this career truly was instead of dreading being asked “what do you do?”

Now I love getting asked this question because it points to God’s beautiful career for women♥️

~The Commonplace Journal-
Where every bit of beauty encountered in pages, conversation, and nature all meet in one place.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Commonplace
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A place to return to, ponder, and reminisce.
A place that evokes wonder and inspires.
A place of comfort.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Sir, if you will be so good as to favor me with a blank book, I will transcribe the most remarkable occurrences I meet with in my reading, which will serve to fix them upon my mind.”
~John Quincy Adams, 10 years old, in a letter to his father
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope this will inspire you to create your own commonplace ✨
