and I were marvelling at the Autumn colours earlier this week as we were
driving back from shopping.
The trees 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 were the Autumn 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. And 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 that you don’t realize the
good you have until you don’t have it anymore.
As much as I enjoy the Autumn 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.
