The Blessing of Autumn

As Autumn flames across park and field as smoke curls from ditch and garden as birds sing their farewell song as frost begins to touch the ground and our hearts are warmed by the scent, sound and touch of it, then is the time to throw away the heavy stones of anger, regret and fear, which harden our hearts. Now is the time to gather stones of praise to build a cairn of thankfulness to our God for all the blessings of our Autumn life.
