"And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come
You are autumn"

As the Leaves are changing colors and the smell of fall is starting to be the scent of my every day, I am so thankful for the things in my life. For the gifts and talents God has given me and the people God has placed in my life. Our God is faithful and so good.

I thought of this today while i was sitting outside, basking in the sunlight. And now sitting here looking at the same view I see everyday, it seems to have a different meaning to it once you see all the brilliant colors shining through, and you think about the reason we have beauty in this life. To remind us everyday that God created us for his glory and he created nature to bring glory to his name and for us to see his goodness portrayed in his creation.

I pray that I am reminded every day how good our God is.
