I absolutely love this time of year. The air is cool and crisp. Harvest is happening and fresh food is plentiful. Pumpkin everything is everywhere and I am in heaven. Fall is my favorite.

I especially love the colors of fall.

So many different shades of color to enjoy. Bright, vibrant hues painted across the landscape that bring a richness to every vista. Each day brings a new change in the scenery. It makes my heart so happy!

Our God is so creative. He could have placed us in a black and white totally utilitarian world. Instead He gave us a variety of environments filled with endless diversity. Colors, textures, sounds, smells, and tastes to satisfy each individual on the planet.

Our lives are designed to be experienced in living color.  God’s desire is for us to live big, bold, beautiful lives filled with the abundance He so freely supplies. We can live loved knowing that He created this wonderful world for us to enjoy.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flow’r that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
