Reminded!

Two years ago my sewing machine was in full throttle, humming along, making curtains and bedding for my, yet to be born, grandson, Kellan. The theme was cowboys and horses, which I thought appropriate, as we waited for our “little Buckeroo” to be born. The stitches pulled together the horseshoes and bucking broncos to form the red and blue “cowboy” curtains. I even searched high and low for a spur to hold them back when our precious baby was not sleeping. I was “spurred” on by a statement my daughter, who lives in NY, made, “I just want something made by your hands in his room to remind me of you”!

Have you looked around lately at the handy work of our Father? Like my daughter, are you reminded of Him because of what His hands have made? The season is changing from the hot summer to the crisps days of autumn and it is wonderful. The tiny corn plants, planted this spring, has grown to over 9 feet tall and turning brown as a sign that harvesting is right around the corner. Some trees are already dropping their leaves and the birds are gathering, ready to start their journey, south. Fall is in the air, as they say! Soon brilliant colors will adorn our trees and geese will decorate the brilliant blue sky with their V formation.

It's at this time that I feel close to God because of all He has created with His hands. I feel His presence as I take in the beauty of His creation. I am reminded that He is still God and I thank Him often for His spectacular array of beauty that I behold at this time of the year. I am so glad He thought to let us enjoy these things He made with His hands, to remind us of His Holy Brilliance!

As temperatures drop, officially ushering in this Autumn, I will be reminded of my God and know that He is always with me.
