Autumn

If everything was created for our pleasure from the earth to the sky, I don't know about you, but I love it. I am mesmorized everyday by the beautiful things in nature. I especially love this time of the year when summer becomes fall and the leaves on the trees turn wonderful shades of orange, red and yellow. They fall to the ground like a blanket to remind us of what is next.

I noticed that not just the plants, but the animals know winter is upon us and they prepare in advance like we do. It is as if you can smell the snow coming. While an animals fur gets thicker, we put on sweaters, while they store food, our menu gets heartier and while they build nests and homes for warmth, we do to. Amazing......

We might be human beings, but we are a part of nature as well. Everything working in harmony like a well oiled machine. Sometimes just taking the time to stop and actually see the small things is showing gratitude to the creator of all beautiful things!

Point to ponder: How do you picture the changing of the seasons? This quote really sums it up for me. "Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower." Albert Camus
