This past weekend I had the opportunity to drive up to
Malone, New York for a meeting with our Associates there. It was an incredible drive filled with so
much beauty and recalling fond memories.
As we drove north, I keep seeing trees in various stages of change. The colors varied from green, yellow, orange,
and red. The further north the deeper the
color changes. It was a moment of awe
and wonder in the glory of God.
During the drive I kept thinking of Marty Haugen’s song,
the Canticle of the Sun.
The heavens are telling the glory of God,
And all creation is shouting for joy!
Come, dance in the
forest, come, play in the field,
And sing, sing to the
glory of the Lord!
Praise
for the sun, the bringer of day,
He
carries the light of the Lord in his rays;
The
moon and the stars who light up the way unto your throne!
Praise
for the wind that blows through the trees,
The
seas' mighty storms, the gentlest breeze;
They
blow where they will
They
blow where they please to please the Lord!
Praise
for the rain that waters our fields,
And
blesses our crops so all the earth yields;
From
death unto life her mystery revealed
Springs
forth in joy!
Praise
for the earth,
Who
makes life grow
The
creatures you made to let your life show;
The
flowers and trees that help us to know
The
heart of love
As
we drove through the mountains, I kept recalling this song and simply enjoyed
the beauty surrounding me. During this
fall season take some time to enjoy the beautiful gift of the change of
seasons.
