Autumn is here, a beautiful time of the year. As I gaze out, what do my eyes behold, wonders to behold. Summer now has given way to the beginning of Autumn, colors so rich, in hues of crimson gold, red and orange are the shades of leaves that soon shall appear. Cool temperatures giving rest to all of God's creation. A beautiful blue sky, billowy white clouds, and the newness that Autumn is now here. The sun is all aglow, bright are the rays of sunshine, that warm my face this day. I am so very glad to be alive. "Today is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." As the newness of autumn has appeared and gives birth, I too shall find a newness in the Lord. Oh colors of fall, orange, red and crimson gold, you are beautiful indeed, for the eye to behold.

"I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will declare all your wondrous deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High." (Psalm 9: 2-3)
