We have really enjoyed traveling in Pennsylvania this fall. The fall colors have been incredibly beautiful and something we have sorely missed in Mozambique. It is one of those things that you try to take a picture of, but like the Grand Canyon, a photograph just can't quite capture the reality of it all. We are marvelously made and when we see the beauty of God's creation, we absorb it with all those marvelous senses we have been blessed with to experience life. The sound of the wind in the trees, the way the light flickers through the leaves, lighting up the dust particles making beams of light that you expect to see fairies dancing on. And then there are the smells, the feel of the wind on your face and the warmth of the sun on your face. And the colors shift as the wind blows the leaves and the sun moves from cloud to cloud. No, there is not anyway a photograph can capture it all. We tried to take many but they don't even come close. But I have taken many mental pictures that maybe will be the thing of dreams in the future.
What a blessing it is to experience the beauty of fall. Thank you Lord. What a gift it is....
"For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth, over and around us lies; Lord of all, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise." (Hymn by Folliott S. Pierpoint in 1864)
