A day in autumn

Today it is snowing golden leaves. As I sit on my bench near the cemetery the wind twirls through the trees and it showers down upon me a golden storm. The beauty almost takes my breath away. The scents, the feel of the sun, the sounds of the leaves skipping down the drive and the singing of the birds fills my soul. As I walk back to the office I tuck the moment away in my heart. Such moments are precious gifts sent by God - just a peek of all that He holds within His love. In the darkness of cold winter nights I will pull on such moments to warm my soul.
