Changing Colors

Happy October!!

I know it is now 3 days into it, but I really love Fall. The weather takes a cooler turn. The leaves start to change a bit. The air becomes crisp.

I saw on the news that the highs for the end of the week are going to be in the 80's with the lows in the 60's! That just gets me all pumped up!!

It started me thinking about the beauty of this creation and the artwork of the Master. So, I will leave you with an encouraging word from Richard J. Foster and a scripture.

"So give your attention to the created order. Look at the trees, really look at them. Take a flower and allow its beauty to sink deep into your mind and heart. Listen to the birds-they are the messengers of God. Watch the little creatures that creep upon the earth. These are humble acts, to be sure, but sometimes God reaches us profoundly in these simple ways if we will quiet ourselves to listen."

"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.

There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world."
(Psalm 19:1-4)
