I love Autumn! It's such a nice time of year. The weather is cooler, people decorate with pretty colors and the wind gently blows the leaves off of the trees. Someone once said (about trees losing their leaves) that only God can make death beautiful. That is so true. The leaves change to beautiful colors, but in reality they are dying. As a Christian, when we lose someone we love, we can rest assured that death is a beautiful thing. That person goes from mortal flesh to immortal soul and that is marvelous! That God should love a soul like mine, how can it be? This Monday, we will hold a memorial service for my dear friend, Mrs. Wade. Her family all made it out here for the service. It will be a time of joy and laughter and also a time for tears and heartache as we remember her. I know that she is in Heaven enjoying it's splendor. She is not sad. She is not in pain. She is full of peace and she is full of the love of God! To know that even as I write this, she is standing before her Saviour, brings me great happiness. I will always miss her. She was a blessing to me in my life, but she is right where God wants her.
