As the leaves bear the color of autumn, it feels like summertime. It’s 76 degrees outside. Earlier today I nestled in the corner of a window and watched where small children played in the sand and jumped on a colorful playground.
I reflected on my grandkids, watching the other children, and recalled what they looked like at 18 months. What a beautiful circle life can weave — reflecting on stages at various age’s colors from nature and beautiful, energetic children.
Each stage of life provides an opportunity to look back and smile at the many gifts that God sends during our journey. Time really flies when you’re having fun, I relish getting older and asking God to give me the energy of a two-year-old and the wisdom of Solomon.
Finally, may I be like a tree planted by the rivers of water and produce my harvest in its due season, to walk and not faint.
