Welcome September 2025

Welcome, September

September arrives with idyllic days,
Warm winds whispering gentle praise.
Sunlight sparkles, laughter takes flight,
As summer's warmth begins to take flight.

Tomatoes ripen, heavy on vines,
Beans sway softly, nature's designs.
With each breeze, a fresh kiss we share,
Welcoming change in the crisp autumn air.

As students head back to school, September brings fresh starts and new opportunities for learning and growth. This time of year is filled with anticipation as classrooms become hubs of creativity and exploration, fostering connections and friendships that will last throughout the year.

On the night of September 7-8, a blood moon will grace the sky, a total lunar eclipse that casts a reddish hue upon the moon. This phenomenon is often viewed through a biblical lens, capturing the attention of many who see it as a significant marker in prophetic traditions, especially concerning Israel. The sight of a blood moon can evoke reflection on historical and spiritual themes, encouraging deeper contemplation during this transformative month.

As we approach the autumn equinox, a time when day and night are nearly equal, we find ourselves in a season of transition. The equinox marks the beginning of fall, traditionally associated with the harvest. However, it’s important to acknowledge that many regions are grappling with climate challenges that may affect agricultural yields, making the celebration of abundance more complex this year. Amid these challenges, the biblical feasts of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur encourage introspection, forgiveness, and renewal, offering spiritual nourishment during uncertain times.

As we navigate these multifaceted themes, there is hope for positive political outcomes, even as challenges persist. September invites us to reflect on both personal and collective journeys, fostering resilience and unity as we move forward.
