'...and the Leaf shall Fade;...'



Can you believe all the glorious, vibrant leaves are almost gone, and winter's icy fury is creeping it's way in? It got quite cold a little too early this year for me, I always like those Indian summers...like Laura Ingalls had on the prairie, ahhh, the good ole days! I hope we have a good New England winter this year, with snow up to my elbows!! That's how it used to be when I was a kid...I cant believe I'm now using the phrase 'when I was a kid'. Sad. Tragic. Pathetic. Scary. Hopefully I'll maintain a kid at heart until I'm 90!! Anyway, :) This is my favorite tree in the yard. A Japanese Maple. I wanted to capture it before it was gone with the wind...

'I do set my bow in the cloud,...' Gen.9:13

'... and it shall be a token of a covenant between me and the earth... and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh...and the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh this is upon the earth.' Gen.9:13,15,16


I took these pictures while driving on the higway-I know, very safe-it had just down poured and then out came the sun and this amazing rainbow! It was just so beautiful and so vivid(much more so in person!), that I had to share it with all of you!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK!

I found this poem while on vacation in a quaint little country store. I thought it was nice. Hope you enjoy it as well.


I AM A CHRISTIAN
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I am saved".
I'm whispering, "I was lost".
That is why I chose this way.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I dont speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak.
And pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are too visible,
But God believes I'm worth it.
When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.
When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
