Fall



Some days invisible smiles appear along the way.

I breathe in the fresh autumn air.
The beauty of Fall is alive with vibrant colors.
Crisp leaves crackle as they dance beneath my feet.

A bird utters a melody as he flutters past my head, joining the many going south.

It's like an embrace from heaven, and
I am refreshed.

Golds, reds, and oranges splash trees with color, and shimmer
in the light of morning sun.
I think of how colors in heaven will be...
hues we've never seen.
I can't imagine.

A fresh, sweet fragrance fills the air,
a wisp that tickles my nose from a nearby tree.
I inhale, wanting the smell to last.
I know in heaven, smells will be sweeter forever.

The mums in my yard whisper peace to my soul...
yellow, lavender and white, as
I brush past the softness of their delicate petals.

I relax in my porch,
watching as birds hop here and there...
the naughty squirrel has left his trail where he chiseled away at my pumpkin.

The leaves on the bush near the porch show such a splendid array of heaven's workmanship.

Oh Caleb. How can there be any doubt in such beauty?
I rejoice in my sorrow.
I know that you are surrounded with such splendor and beauty,
such eternal love and joy,
beyond anything I can comprehend.

It warms my heart and brings joy to my soul.
I can smile and know that one day....
everything will be all right.

It's the now, my sweet son -
it's the now that is hard.
But, I welcome days like this, where
a gush of heaven's splendor washes over me,
and for a brief moment,
everything is breathtaking and wonderful
because I know the beauty I see, the wonder that takes my breath away
is a gift from my Father
who loves us so much.

I can sense your love with the presence,
with the glimpse of heaven's illumination.
It is forever.
In the midst of these tears,
I have a witness before me -
in this is the promise of a bright, and beautiful eternity
with you.
In this there is comfort.

Till then.......

My heart carries on, in love, with hope ~

Selah.
