We woke this morning in West Michigan to our first frost of the season. I can find it little sad for I know it signals the definite end of summer. Plants which have defied the cooler nights of fall will now give way to the frost. The trees will start loosing their leaves at a faster rate. It also means I need to get all our yard ornaments and garden hoses put away for winter; I have to surrender to the fact that winter is on it's way. (I am not a cold weather girl.) But there is beauty here too.When you see the frost on the trees or grass as the first rays of the morning sun strikes the frost crystals it causes the blades of grass or tree limb to come alive dancing in the brilliant light of the morning sun. We are like those blades of grass, when we are covered with the graces of God. His glorious light will strike the graces of our lives and help our faith to come alive dancing within his light. It can be the most beautiful thing you will ever experience on this earth, and it gives us a glimpse of how we will sparkle when we are in the presence of God's love.
Nature gives us such wonderful examples of God's love for us, we just need to be still and experience them.
