Did you all know that leaves change color during the season we call Fall? They do not simply turn brown and fall to the ground in the matter of a few days. In parts of the country where people experience actual weather, the leaves turn these beautiful, rich, autumny colors. It's crazy!! I drove across the bridge that crosses Lake Lanier and just stared awe-struck at the contrast of silver-gray waters, trees in glorious fall colors, and the bright blue sky above. I never realized how starved I was for nature, for the magnificent beauty of God's creation, until I lived in the midst of it. The question of the reason/purpose behind this natural phenomenon entered my mind, and I admit I am curious regarding the scientific significance behind the changing colors of the leaves, but I think knowing might somehow diminish the awesomeness of what I am currently experiencing. Maybe the reason should simply be that God loves beautiful things and He is Creator, and he wants to share the beauty of His creation with us. I cannot help but gaze around me every day this season in awe and wonder at what God has created. Wow...
