fall leaves

I was cleaning over at camp today, dusting a windowsill in one of the dorms that overlooks the water. I stopped for a minute to think-- I am so thankful.
Then I thought, all of those beautiful fall leaves are just those colors because they are dying, and will soon fall off the trees! But for now, I will be thankful for the picture God painted for me today!

I was just doing the same thing today. Bitter sweet eh?

I've been searching for your blog and I'm so glad I found it. I love the fact that blazing color is the last thing the leaves do.

Oh, how I miss those beautiful colors only God can make. I'm glad that you get to enjoy them.
I love you

I was thinking the same thing on my drive home today and thought, if only we could find beauty in all death as easily as we
do in leaves.
