Fall

Man, the colors are so vivid this week!!! The trees are strutting their stuff this year. The lovely bright colors are so wonderful, vibrant and alive. I am awed by the wonderful plan of creation - the trees go into dormancy with style and festivity. I was thinking... Why are we not more like trees? As we age why do we say our lives fade when in fact they could be a blaze of glory? Why do we set the elderly aside rather than learn from their wisdom and experience? Maybe what we see as confusion could be seen as an alternate perspective. Everyone is gifted by God with something to share. Each life has value. Many folks drive many miles to see leaves preparing to fall and die. Could we not also drive to the nearest elder care facility and see the glory there? Hmmmm
