Dearest God,

I keep wanting to stop, to take pictures of the Autumn scene around me. The loveliness of the season keeps my mind on you, Great Artist of Creation.

Signs and scenes of heaven are all around. One person helping another. An answer to prayer. An insight. Friends coming together. A cry to you.

As I wander through this Fall time, I take stock in my faith ever growing. I know that faith is the great equalizer. It keeps my life in balance. It keeps me from despair when life circumstances say all is lost. It enriches my insides.

Crisp leaves crunching
beneath my shoes
reminds me
that the season
of renewal
is coming.
My roots
will finally
have their season
to regroup,
to push down
into the
fertile soil of
courage, strength
and faith.
During this time
all I have
to do
is let
my roots down,
down where
I meet you.

Love, Andrea
