Angela and I were marvelling at the autumn colours last week
as we drove along the highway. The woods were a kaleidoscope of colours, no two
the same. It wasn’t hard to imagine Jack Frost painting each leaf individually.
One of the many things we missed during our time in
Australia was fall colours. As beautiful and gorgeous and wonderful (have I
used enough adjectives yet?) as the weather was in Australia, and it was
beautiful and gorgeous and wonderful, their trees didn’t change in the fall. To
be truthful, I don’t think I ever truly appreciated the various hues that paint
our forests until they weren’t there to see. That’s a sad reality of life as
well—you don’t realize the good you have until you don’t have it anymore.
As much as I enjoy the fall scenery I don’t appreciate what
it takes to make the leaves change—chilly fall mornings leave me cold, so to
speak. That’s human nature though isn’t it? We never seem to want to pay the
price, no matter how small. The great thing about the beauty of heaven is that
the price has already been paid, and all we have to do is claim it. Have a
great week and remember: To see what is really possible, you will have to
attempt the impossible.
