Changing Colors

It seems this time of year has a story to tell if we would only pay attention. The first thing we must do is to SLOW DOWN:and LOOK AROUND us. See what beauty God has produced for us to see in our woodlands, our parks, along our rivers, even in our own backyards.

A stroll outside will do wonders for our attitude. The beauty of nature belongs to all who have eyes to behold it or who can smell its many fragrances.

Everything is changing. The colors are turning from green to bright orange, red, and yellow to brown. Leaves are falling, forming piles around bushes and fences. The brisk morning and evening air brings refreshment.

Fall shows that God approves of change. In fact, God shows change as a process that is good and necessary for the betterment of all lives and for the world.
