Falling Leaves

The leaves have not turned to autumn colors this year--at least not yet. Many trees have died because of the dry weather we have had. It is still very hot and I long for the cool breezes, the soft autumn smell, the fall rains and the wonderful colors. It is a time for learning to thank God for what is and appreciate the blessings of the day.

It is difficult to discern God's call when I am not able to bask in what is because I have figured out what should be and then demand it. God answers my prayers in mysterious ways. Look for God's call in what is not what is expected.
