Taking it all in


trees with fall leaves

All the textures and hues of the fall leaves showed off big time this past week.


I'm always struck by the contrast between the changing colors of the leaves and the sturdy browns of the trunks.


It reminds me to appreciate the hills and valleys we experience throughout different seasons of our lives. Without the stark contrast between the ups and downs of various challenges, we may take too much for granted and lose perspective of God's mercy throughout each phase of our growth.


Just as the vibrant hues of fall stimulate our senses, scriptures can be a balm to our souls and a gentle reminder of God's faithfulness to us.



"The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad." Psalm 118:24
