Tonight as I was walking to my car, I noticed something under the tire. As I bent down to get a closer look, I realized it was just a large leaf that had blown down out of the tree overhead during a brief rain storm.
Then I realized the ground around my car was littered with leaves already turning gold and amber. Could it really be that fall is just around the corner? Leaves don't lie. September will be here in two short weeks. Unlike many who will miss the summer, its sunshine and its warmth, I won't be disappointed when the month changes.
September is a time for walking, for tasting the crispness of fall air and hearing the crunch of the first fallen leaves under foot. September is a time of change, signaling the end of one season and the beginning of another. In the same way, our faith life flows through seasons and changes that sometimes take us down unexpected paths. Yet, walking with God is like walking with your dear grandfather, who never minds stopping to pick up pinecones or making those interesting little side trips to nowhere. God has a grandfather’s time and waits patiently until we catch up. And when you journey, hand in hand with your loving God, you never know what treasures you might find along the way!
