I have walked these same roads for a long time, 27 years now, I know all the turns, hills, holes and stones. I have run, jogged, pushed strollers and now walked them many many times. I have come to love these streets and all the life they have recorded for me. As I walk today and the air is chilled and the rain splatters against my umbrella I am struck with God’s grace. He has chosen to gift me with an every changing landscape even as He has chosen to set my feet firmly in this one place. As the trees are starting to drop their leaves and the last little green jumpy jumpers stretch their legs across my path, as I start to see more cardinals and less robins, fewer butterflies and more yellow jackets I soak up the beauty of Gods ever present love. I notice how the flowers I pass have went from daffodils to mums, and along the road the purple clover has given over to the brown eyed Susan’s, fewer snakes sun themselves on the rocks but the cows mosey around with more leisure as the air cools, the cherries have gone but the apples have grown….ahhh all His seasons offer up their own unique gifts. I use to wonder on the grand beauty of faraway places but now I see that His grand beauty is all around me here it is ever changing and I get to witness his orchestrated masterpiece everyday all around me if I will but walk…watch…listen..and praise Him.
