Fall Colors

I love the colors of fall and recently spent some time walking along Lisa’s Faith and Fitness Trail, a beautiful trail around our church campus, just enjoying the beautiful fall colors.  I would like to invite you to take a moment and enjoy the beauty of creation during these later days of fall.  The colors are truly beautiful.  My favorite are the reds and yellows especially together.  But it’s all beautiful.  It’s as if God invited the sunset and the sunrise to color the trees.  But here’s the thing--Sooner or later, hopefully later, the colors will fade, and the leaves will fall, and we will have to wait until next year to enjoy them again.  So, take a moment and enjoy it with your family on a nice walk.  Some of the folks have put up some scarecrows just to make your walk more fun and enjoyable.  Here’s a positive word for your journey from the psalms--
 
This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24)
 
So, don’t wait.  Put aside some of the busyness and enjoy the beautiful fall colors.  Take some quiet time to reflect on the beauty of creation and let it whisper to you the blessings of the Creator . . . or don’t forget to enjoy it in the company of those you love . . .
 
(Prayer)
Lord, thank you for the beauty of creation.  Help me to take some time and just enjoy it and reflect on your love and the love of others you have placed in my life.
