Fall

Warning...
I got carried away with this post! LOL!







I was fortuante to do a great deal of traveling when I was younger. Because I was able to visit every region of the U.S. in every season there were certain times of the year that were more stunning than others. Spring and Fall became my favorite seasons. Who could argue with the beauty that is displayed,...flowers blooming, budding trees, the changing colors of leaves?

Having grown up in the deep South, I have witnessed the incredible site of the beginning of Spring...a riot of colors displayed in daffodils, tulips, azaleas, daisies, roses, magnolias, etc. The South is gorgeous in the Springtime...a real Belle! When it comes to Fall...well!

I have always felt short-changed in Autumn! It rarely makes an appearance down here. Normally we are in shirt-sleeves and shorts through Christmas so summer lasts quite a long time. This means that there is rarely the burst of color that more northern areas experience. I distinctly remember the first time I witnessed with my very own eyes the stunning beauty of Fall colors in New England. Mortal words are inadequate to describe the amazing spectacle!

So, when you don't have the change of seasons very often and when the elusive Fall does make an appearance you just have to jump for joy! This year we are witnessing the changing color of the leaves (gold, yellow, orange, and red), much cooler temperatures and I get to wear my sweaters and scarves! Yippee! I just love this season, especially this year! So, gracious Father, I thank You for the gorgeous display of Your glory and the cooler temperatures! You have made Your child joyous! You are awesome!

Hope you are experiencing the presence of God all around you!
