A Beautiful Death....(Reason #427)
The colors of fall remind me, teach me, exhort me.......dying (in a spiritual sense) is breathtakingly beautiful.
The leaves change color......because they are dying.
I witness an explosion of jewel-shade hues....because they are yielding up their life. I am witnessing the process of surrender. Surrender to God's purpose to use them in another way. A way that is 'exceedingly, abundantly, above all I could hope, think or imagine.'
I am schooled by the view out my window.
I must decrease so that HE may increase in my life.
May the yielding of my life be as beautiful as the fall.
