All Good Things

Late this morning, returning home, I was driving my wife’s Mini-Cooper slowly down the dirt road (picture left) so I would not splatter mud on it.  I had just taken it through the car wash.  As I traveled under the large maple trees, (also in the picture) dawdling and enjoying their beauty, the sun broke through the branches warming my face, and hundreds of brilliant colored leaves began floating, spiraling, spinning down all around me.  The leaves appeared to be falling in slow motion.  It was a beautiful experience.  A small thing like this really is one of God’s greatest gifts.  Be careful not to overlook unique moments in your life.  Recognize and give thanks for each one of them.  So, I thank you Father, Creator, for falling autumn leaves and all good things.
