Where we are right now, in the heart of the heartland of America, mother nature is putting on her Autumn attire. Fall officially started yesterday. So it’s still too early for the colors to be vibrantly on fire. But there are hints of the beautiful shades to come all around.
The so-called autumn attire is an annual reminder, too.
You probably recall what Jesus said, in the book of John, when he talked about death that brings life. He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”
Side note: When he said “he who hates his life in this world,” it’s actually an expression of someone who urgently desires eternal life and realizes how this life here now doesn’t compare at all to that.
Anyway…
I wrote a short rhyme about it, inspired by a beautiful photograph of a small cabin, surrounded by and autumn attired forest. It all looked quite cozy. So I wrote….
Nestled In Nature
Nestled in nature, in evergreen fire,
A small cabin sits in its Autumn attire.
Some leaves have fallen and many remain
For just a while longer, to sing a refrain
Whispering breezes have brought to this place.
It’s so solitary and so full of Grace.
A scene so serene you might wonder why
The world goes berserk in the blink of an eye.
Answers are simple, and life can be, too.
Your Creator wants to restore it in you.
Silence and music, in sync and in tune,
Reveal His love from this burnished doubloon. © 2022 TF
