There is something particularly precious about the last flowers in the garden at the end of the season. We know the frost will show up one of these nights.
Sometimes we can sense a change in the atmosphere, a shifting in the angle of light, a different scent in the air. Change is coming.
Change means we eventually may need to let go of the rewards of past efforts, but today we stop and admire the beauty in this moment. Today we thank God for his faithfulness. Today we sing.
Ah, yes! So many images to remind us of past, coming and present beauty – all destined to remind us to dwell in this day, enjoy this moment, extract everything from now – and allow the temptations to linger in the shadows while we revel in the gift we have been given!
