Fall Leaves

After today's rain, wind, and snow, many of the leaves have fallen, but here are two pictures, the first from here in Chicago before the snow, and the second from Gainesville, Florida.  Click on the photos to view them full sized.

 

Fall, Leaves, Fall

by

Emily Brontë 

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;

Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

Keep Thou My Feet

Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.

- Blessed John Henry Newman

Happy Thanksgiving!

The earth has yielded its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.
(Psalm 67:6)

May we not forget or neglect those who benefit little from the bounty of the earth.
May we make wise decisions regarding the stewardship of God's earth, so that the earth may continue to yield its harvest.
