Enjoying The Colors Of Fall

This picture was taken along the banks of the Mississippi River in Clarksville, Missouri on Thursday, October 23.  Although the trees outside my office here in Cheyenne have lost all of their leaves already, going southward brought a second chance to see some more fall colors.  It has been a wonderful fall season.  Although we received a dusting of snow here in Cheyenne on September 11, the weather since then has just been fabulous.  

While watching the news on TV can be depressing with reports of attacks in Canada, a hatchet attack here in the U.S., and another shooting in a school, I appreciated the opportunity to disconnect for a while and enjoy the beauty of God's creation.  In the midst of the trials and tribulations of life there is also much good.  What would happen in our world if we each made a commitment to live our lives in a state of perpetual gratitude?  I think it would make a phenomenal difference.  Are you grateful for all of God's gifts?  Take time today to thank God for some of those gifts.  Be specific. Name the gift and give God thanks specifically for that gift.  I invite you to share your list in the comment section.

I thank God each day for my life and my family. I am especially thankful for the love we share as a family, and for good friends.
