God, Help me and my family to practice gratitude this fall. Guard our hearts from becoming over-scheduled or overwhelmed. Let our celebrations and traditions be rooted in love and not in busyness. Teach us to slow down, to notice Your blessings, and to enjoy the gift of being together. May our home reflect Your peace and presence in every moment, and may everything we do bring glory to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
