I dropped my growing, and no doubt about it, very intelligent, son off at school; and realized that he has one more game this football season…I am so sad. I love to watch him play football, but I am more saddened that time is going so quickly. Seasons…they seem to move so fast. The leaves are changing, where did my summer go? Football season is almost over, where did my little boy go? I am also struck by this new season we are in…not fall, not off season football, but the season of a new president, of a lottery in Arkansas…I am saddened, I am more than a little melancholy. What is this nation coming to? I see the leaves…I see the beauty that surrounds me…this nation is coming to our Lord. One way or another…He will rule.
I decide I need a photo of the leaves, as I arrive home, I see my little Georgie literally frolicking in the leaves that have fallen. I find some rather gorgeous red leaves from our Japanese Maple, as I tried to place them on the ground so I could get them in a pic, Georgie decides the leaves are all hers and takes them from me. I pick up another one, she jumps up and grabs it from my hand. She doesn’t tear them up or run away with them, just lays down with them. She has found the fun of this new season. Lesson learned my co
mpanion… Season change…but there is great fun, joy and beauty to be found in each new season. I will miss this season…but the new ones do hold the promise of more to come…
Yes…God is in control! Bring on a new season!! Love your thoughts, Rebecca!!
