Where I live, each of the four seasons presents beautiful testimony to the glory of creation. It is now approaching mid-Autumn. Oak leaves, golden brown, brilliant red, glowing yellow, and all the hues in between, are beginning to flutter down into the yard and garden. The trees are refocusing their energy on the next seasonal phase of their lives. God’s creation has an energized liveliness even when branches become bare, anticipating winter’s cold. Life endures.
