Autumn


Father-God, we lift our praise to You!
Creator of all the seasons, Giver of each moment,
          what a glorious day this is with which You are blessing us!
The crisp, clean air surrounding us, the dome of perfect, azure sky over us,
         who cannot see Your hand within it all?
You paint each leaf with colours no pigment we can create can match!
Your morning dew touches each blade of grass with diamonds beyond compare!
O Lord, help me not to race past such beauty unseeing.
Open my eyes to the wonder,
        Open my nose to each aroma,
                Open my lips to praise You forever for the autumn
And each season of my life,
                                               Forever!  Amen!

Hush

Loving, merciful, mighty Father God,  the evening is hushed.  The supper is cleared, the dogs have settled and are gently snoring, the television is off and no traffic is passing.  How seldom we have precious times that are hushed; when we can simply be with You and thank You for all that has made up this day.  You have brought us to this place, through all the times of our lives, and You have never let us go.  This moment is a moment shared with the Creator of All that is, seen and unseen.  The very moment I am in Your holy presence and wrapped in Your love, dear Jesus.  I am Your beloved child.  What words can express the indescribable joy and the lava of comfort that flows over me with such knowledge?  There are no words.  There is need be no words.  The evening is hushed and I am with my Father, Son, Spirit.  It is a time of holy hush...  I whisper alleluia... Amen...
