In All Things… Day 9 (Gabrielle)
November 11, 2008 by sharppointythings
Today I am thankful for the tree I saw outside my window yesterday. It was set against a warm blue sky and it was weeping leaves the color of fire. I looked at it today and all the leaves were gone. The sky is cold gray and the branches are like fingers. When the wind blows through them there are no colorful leaves to drop; just the sound of wood scraping against wood. But I the tree in its splendor yesterday and I will hold that picture in my head until spring comes.
Lord, our Maker and Master,
I thank You for trees, leaves and autumn.
I thank You for the rhythm the seasons give to life
And for the image of great things we can see in the life of a tree.
I thank You for the brilliant colors of dying leaves and for the way they fall in the wind.
Amen.
