...being created from the love of God and continually being loved by God are not enough for us. We want and also absolutely depend on the explicit confirmation by others of the life given us by God. We need God's love for us to be met, confirmed, and extended by the love and affirmation of others. That is why when people feel unloved by others, it is little consolation to tell them that they are loved by God.' Paul Waddel

Fall
Fall gave up an incredible offering of such beauty today as I walked with a friend. I love this time of year when the air is crisp but the sun still hugs you with its arm along your back. The leaves are falling from the trees to create a rythm of sound to my steps but not before they have given one last cresendo of color. Breathtaking. Happy for a friend to share it with I say a prayer for others to see His kiss of joy in the sunlight. To know that the display is His glory given for our enjoyment. All of creation calls us to worship, in as many dazzling colors as there are sounds of praise.

I just love the way you discribed this weather. I couldn't have done it better. It is so beautiful. And the sound the leaves make when you step over them? So cool.
Beautiful.
I love it, too.
