... I have to tell you that one of my favorite times of the year is fall. Oh, I admit, I hate that my allergies kick into high gear... I hate that the flu bug begins it's rampage around the schools... and I hate the fact that it gets darker earlier... but I absolutely love the colors! As I sit here, I am watching the beautiful yellows, oranges and reds fall lazily to the ground. (Mickey hates that part!) Living in a wooded area affords us much color, and I always struck by how creative God is!
I can only imagine as He and Jesus, accompanied by the Spirit, sat down to map out their landscaping plan...
The Father: So, what do you think... all maples, or should be mix it up a bit?
Jesus: Let's mix it up... make it exciting!
The Spirit: And how about some nuts on the trees... I'm sure they'll come in handy.
The Father: Okay... maple, oak, elm, walnut, hickory... and some nice green leaves, different so we can tell them apart.
Jesus: And some color... how about that? Maybe some yellow... and reds... ???
The Spirit: ... and orange... don't forget the orange, it is one of my favorites!
The Father: Do you think they'll like it??
The Spirit: Do you think they'll notice???
Jesus: Don't worry... they'll love it... who wouldn't love a beautiful crisp fall day created just for their pleasure??
So, okay... I have quite the imagination... but I know that as God designed this earth He had you and I in mind... and I have to tell you... I am overwhelmed as I look at the glory of His creation. And while fall signals the onset of winter... I know that spring isn't far behind!

My grandmother always said that Fall was God's Coloring Book...I always think of that when I see all the beautiful colors!
