Fall is here...

even though it is unseasonably warm here in NC. Fall is definitely here. One of my favorite things is seeing the leaves take on their new colors. One of my not so favorite things is raking up those same said leaves as they take over my yard. There is a sense of accomplishment, as brief as it may be, when the yard is leaf free. Then a quick overview of the unchanged leaves still in the Bradford pear trees, reminds me just how short lived the sense of accomplishment is.

Praise God that we have a yard to rake. Praise God that we have the arms, legs and energy to rake. Praise God for changing the colors of the leaves and for changing our hearts towards Him. As you enjoy the beauty of fall - fall in love with the One who created that beauty - Your Creator. Fall in love with Jesus all over again or for the very first time. Know that He is there to catch you when you fall.
