I’ve been flip-flopping on what to do about Tuesday night at Laurel Highlands. Am I still going to speak? Yes, and I also signed up to give the invocation as well. I have two great ideas for what I want to talk about and either of them will be great as an invocation or prepared speech. At least in my opinion, they do.
All week, I’ve been practicing my speech that looks forward to Fall. With the forecast this week trending toward cooler weather, this speech may be appropriate. But it’s a lot of content in just two or three (or even five) minutes, therefore this may be my invocation.
I have another idea for a speech that can fit in the allotted time frame, though. With Tuesday being a memorable day for me, I may go with that for my speech.
Here is my speech looking forward to Fall:
This summer has been a great one for me. I enjoyed a nice week off where I did a lot of fun activities, enjoyed the Fourth of July, and worked a lot. Our summer’s days are numbered and soon enough we’ll be “Welcoming The ‘Ber Months”
September’s Leaves: Summer resorts and amusement parks close for the season and the kids are in their back to school routine. Football begins to pique our interests. It can still feel like summer but eventually the cooler weather wins out. September is a time of transition, when we begin to plan hayrides and pick apples. I’m looking forward to a nice Pumpkin Spice Latte or Hot Apple Cider.
October’s Glow: The best month of all if you love fall but you’ll be busy with those home projects . For me, it’s a time to celebrate and I have a lot planned for this coming October.
November’s Warmth: Fall back as you gain that extra hour of sleep. The reds, oranges and yellows are past their peak and soon the trees will be bare. Town squares start to look festive for the holidays and the malls are beginning to look like Christmas. You start to prepare your spread for your Thanksgiving feast.
Finally, we experience the magic of the holiday season
December’s Magic: You’re decorating the tree and watching the first snowflakes fall. Working hard on Christmas cookies and makying your house look good for all the guests you’ll have at your holiday party. Is your Christmas shopping done or are you a last minute shopper?
A splash of color, plenty of glow, a spoonful of warmth and a little magic, and a whole lot of Brr!
