[Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Tuesday, September 18 2012

[Paul]

Well folks, this will be the next to the last good night message for now, as beginning on Thursday morning, the undersigned is taking a minivacation away from home and his computer, so tomorrow evening will be the last good night message.  How was your day today? I hope it was good, by God's matchless grace and His providential care.

We are approaching the fall or autumn season here in North America and Europe, while in Australia and New Zealand you're about to have your spring, although in parts of Australia you probably don't have the change of seasons weatherwise as we in America and Europe.  Anyway the next few days will feature poems about fall or autumn.  Case in point is today's contribution.  It is entitled "Autumn," written by Wendy Wagner Tousignant, and is rendered as follows:

The miracle of fall renews
My faith, and I'm reborn!
Triumphantly I take my stand
This bright September morn.
The spectacle of beauty
In leaves of red and gold
Against the denseness of tall pines
Is wondrous to behold!
Fields of pumpkins cast
Their orange reflections in a stream.
Soon gentle hands will harvest them
For faces that will beam.
The smell of caramel apples
Now permeates the air;
And ducks gather near cattails,
Their flight plans to prepare.
The coral blush of western sky
Caused by the setting sun,
Strengthens the glow I feel inside,
Just knowing we are one.

And there you have it for this evening.  And now may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob just keep us safe, individually and collectively, throughout this night or day and especially in these last days in which we live.  Your Christian friend and brother, Paul
