As the sun is full of light, the ocean full of water; heaven full of glory. So may my heart be full of thee.
A Puritan Prayer
Farewell Summer—Welcome Fall
By Elece Hollis
Beside a country road,
I found a letter from summer there
You can’t miss it; it’s everywhere
Sweet and mellow
Singing her goodbye
Singing her goodbye
Nodding—swaying in the wind
Yellow notes of a fading song
Composed on the fragile sunlight and air,
Notice she leaves us
A note behind wishing
Farewell to another summer
Welcome fall.
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
and my soul, which You have redeemed.
Psalm 71:23

God is so good to us. We have so much space and beauty and so many blessings! Even along a dirt road there are sunny flowers nodding in the breeze.
