Changes

Today while I was out running I noticed the leaves turning to all their brilliant colors that they do every fall. Just three days ago everything was green but we had a frost and that changed things. This year it looks like all the different trees will turn at the same time. It will be so beautiful in Tennessee in less than a week.

I will soon have to grab my camera and hop into my pickup and head down the road looking for that perfect picture. The problem will not be finding beautiful hill sides or trees around a lake. No, it will be picking out the best of the best pictures. I will save them like I will never ever see such sights again. Funny, it turns fall every year.

The great thing about Tennessee is that we have 4 seasons and most of the time we get to enjoy all 4. Fall may be my most favorite because I run and hunt. The weather is cooler for running and it is time to spent time in the woods. Most changes I have trouble with but not the seasons. In Tennessee you get bored with one season just wait it will change soon.

Life has its changes too. Some of the changes are like the first frost or the first big snow. Or some are like the first thunder storm with high winds. Like our seasons they soon pass and the frost and snow melts and the storm blows over.

Speaking of changes, oh at the changes in my life! Some for the good and some well, not so good. But I am so glad that God had a plan for me. Raised poor and needy the Lord gave me a good job, then a wonderful wife and daughter. Then He put in my heart to be a soul winner. Later the burden to go into all the world on mission.

I am thankful that as a poor boy in Tennessee I was not forgotten. It is so neat that Almighty God cares for little ole me. The plan for my life does have its ups and downs but as long as God is with me I don’t care. I know that the plan will work.

Blessings,
