I look out my bedroom window and see the afternoon light hitting the Grand Mesa just right and the distant aspen's autumn gold shines through the gathering rain clouds.
Autumn- Jesus tells us that the time of his coming will be as sure as the season's changing or as the approaching weather.
We, country people, we know the cooler days and nights mean to gather the last of the crops, to get that 3rd cutting of hay done and baled and in the barn, to bring the houseplants in, to put the winter windows on the chicken coop. We plan our winter menus in advance according to the food we've canned, pickled, froze and jelled.
Do we plan for Jesus return and know the signs of his imminent return from our reading the Bible? I am trying to read more, am I planning enough? I don't know but I do trust in His love and faithfulness. I know that He'll encourage me to look out the window and think of Him. I'll be glad to see He's coming to take me home. Won't you!
