Nature truly has blessed me this year. What
looked like an early Autumn has turned into a lasting,
colorful paradise. The air has been so warm, the sky
has been so clear, and the sunshine has been
brightening everything with its golden glow. Most of
all the wonderful red and crimson leaves have been
staying on their trees day after day and week after
week giving their delight to the world. These leaves
are usually the first to appear and the first to fall
in the autumns here. We usually only get a few weeks
of their beauty before they are gone. This year,
though, their joyous colors have lasted and lasted.
As glorious and beautiful as these autumn leaves
are, though, there is still something even more
beautiful and even more glorious. This something is
our own bright shining souls and our own wonderful
lives. We don??™t have to wait until the last few weeks
of our lives either to shine our greatest colors of
love and joy. We can shine them brilliantly for years
and years and make our entire lives an autumn of
delight. At any age we can realize that God loves us
so very much and wants us to live our lives in
goodness, beauty, peace, and happiness. At any age we
can see that the more love, joy, and oneness with God
that we choose and share in this world the brighter
and more special our lives become. At any age we can
become the Autumn angels we were meant to be and spend
the rest of our days blessing the world with the
glorious colors of our loving hearts, joyous souls,
and light filled lives.
I wish all of you an early autumn in your
lives then. I wish all of you an autumn that lasts for
years and years and touches countless souls with its
brilliance, love, and joy. I wish all of you an autumn
that makes God smile and the angels sing. I wish all
of you an autumn that colors your souls for all
eternity.
