Ahh, Autumn at Last!

 


At long last we are having autumn weather.  Where we live in Japan the weather quickly goes from hot to cold with a very short autumn.  In northern parts of Japan, the autumn season is more glorious and longer.  Here you have to look quick or miss it.  I love this season and sometimes feel cheated that it is so short.  I remember being on a home assignment in the Midwest in the autumn.  Seeing the glorious colors God displayed was thrilling.  Walking in the leaves was fun.  The air was crisp and refreshing.  Today as I went shopping with mom, I saw colors.  I felt a crispness in the air.  I was glad to be outside with a jacket and enjoy the beauty and refreshment after a very long, hot summer.  Thank you, Lord, for this gift!
