Recently, while driving on I-70 and I-68, through Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia (again), Maryland, and West Virginia (yet again!), I was amazed at all the beautiful colors on the trees. It was like God had taken out His paintbrush, and had created a masterpiece...all around us! It was absolutely beautiful!
Then I started thinking~
- None of those trees were exactly the same, just like we are not all "the same".
- Each tree had a special color, just like we all have special gifts. What is/are your special gift(s)?
- Each tree points to God, just as we should point others to Christ.
- Every tree declared God's glory, just as we ought to praise Him for all He has done!
I am so thankful that I have been given the opportunity to see God's paintbrush this fall...and I am also thankful that He reminded me of these simple truths.
Have you seen some of His paintings?

I had the pleasure of riding in the same vehicle on this trip with an Autumn Cutie (although the Cutie was actually born in the Spring), but she can still be referred to as an Autumn Cutie. I enjoyed watching the amazing colors and landscapes. We can't even grasp the mightiness of God's Creation. But the glimpse that we see is amazing! And we still have "Peak" Fall to hit our area!
I hope you have a great day!
Love,

Thanks for the "oh so very true" thoughts! Not much color here yet, but with the cool mornings and evenings...it shouldn't be long! Can't wait!
The colors really haven't started to change here yet. Anxious to see the beautiful colors when the do!
I'm hoping that people don't start to think my special gift is event planning after the carnival on Sunday (thank you so much for your prayers--God heard!)! Seriously, though, I think my special gift from God is discernment.
