Harvesting Hope: Mental Health Awareness Month: October 2024

Every October, I sense the Lord doing something new in me. Perhaps it’s the changing of seasons, or perhaps it’s the preparation of the hustle and bustle of what’s to come. The month in and of itself doesn’t represent anything super significant to me, but I can’t help but think of the harvest. 

Between the colorful mirage of trees and falling leaves outside my window, beauty is all around us. And yet, in a few short months, the trees will be naked, the air will be cold, and the season will be bleak. Both seasons play a role in our spring, summer, fall, and winter quartet, but if I had a choice, I’d live in summer year-round. 

Since I’m stuck in Ohio for the time being, there are 3 things I believe this season can teach us about harvesting hope. Because October is Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s important to recognize that changing seasons can affect our mental well-being. You’re not crazy for feeling this way! Here are some practical tips for nurturing your mental health during these transitional seasons.
