Fall Break

This past weekend I ventured to Georgia to visit with Chrisa (it was convienient that our fall breaks were the same time!) I drove the ENTIRE way by myself and did not get lost. However, here I was crusin along and I see a sign that 106 is closed ahead and local traffic only. I thought it would be down to one lane but BINGO I was wrong! All of a sudden the road came to a complete end with signs in the middle of the road(if the signs weren't clear enough there was dirt AND a excavator as well). Thankfully they had the detour well marked with signs and afer a 'few' phone calls I made it safely to Chrisa's. (And thanks to many prayers on my behalf!) We had quite the fun weekend (we did squeeze a wee shopping trip & also had lunch with Uncle States and Aunt Jane, among other various activities) because it zoomed quickly by!
I didn't actually take any pictures until the way home. The leaves were so gorgeous I stopped at an overlook and took a few pictures.



As I was driving along it brought to mind Noah, when God promised he would nevere flood the whole earth again. The creation is also marred by sin but the seasons still remain and the leaves continue to turn into beautiful fall colors. Genesis 8:22: "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, And day and night shall not cease."God is not only merciful and gracious to His children by forgiving, loving and taking us as His own but also giving us His beautiful creation to enjoy!
