Busy, busy, busy…I know that is a phrase most everyone understands. I’ve almost caught up from being sick and out of commission for two & a half days last week and I realized this morning I almost missed something. This weekend, whatever you’re doing…STOP. Take a drive somewhere and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation! I went up to Petty School this morning for parent-teacher conferences (don’t ask) and between raindrops I noticed the glorious colors of the trees. I don’t know how it looks where you are, but here in the Wabash Valley today the colors are surely at their peak. So inspiring is the foliage at the Red Hills State Park I very nearly burst into song! “For the beauty of the earth, for the glories of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies: Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.” Pierpoint must have been looking at the fall fiolage when he penned those words. Okay, I did burst into song, but I forgot the third phrase and that caused me to come back to the church and look it up. God’s creation is gorgeous…too bad it takes the changing of the season to remind us of its beauty…but praise God, I didn’t miss it! Don’t you.

Thank God that His gorgeous creation took your mind off those parent-teacher conferences. Anna & Bella must be paying the preacher!!!
Yeah, but not nearly enough!
Oh, come on, they have such sweet smiles! I can remember BJ's 1st grade and 6th grade years being horrific and thinking will we make it through. Looking back it wasn't that life altering, he grew up to be a productive adult, and now that he is 32 years old, the memories of "those horrific years" are what we find humor in. Not many memories came out of the "quiet years". They will make it and so will you by the grace of God!
Yeah, we will make it...and I expect I will be blessed with an abundance of memories...Praise God!
