Ecclesiastes 3 King James Version (KJV)
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
As I was looking at the leaves on my trees turning, I became a little depressed realizing that with the turning of leaves comes winter--- and how I dreaded another winter like 2014. I looked at my dogwood which I had always admired with its red leaves, wanting to appreciate the beauty of the present. I saw something I'd never seen before. There beside the leaves turning red were the red berries to nourish my beloved birds, but what's that white knob? A bud!
In His infinite wisdom God opened my eyes to what was before me all along: the hope for Spring, the resurrection of life was already there. On the dogwood tree was the beauty of Autumn, nourishment for winter and promise of Spring. Thank you God!
