Autumn

God's creation is so beautiful this time of year.

The weather was perfect today. The skies were clear and the colors of the leaves on the trees so vivid to the eye. I thank God for the season of Autumn....mostly for the visible reminder that we humans will one day have our own Autumn in life, where our bodies will whither, become frail and die similar to the leaves on the trees. Autumn reminds me to cherish the time I have with my children and my husband and to relish each and every breath of life. Autumn, with its warm colors, fragrant smells, and shorter days, gently encourages me to stay outside longer before Winter descends. It is a season where God plays with my senses and gives me a glimpse of his wondrous majesty...
