Meditation Moment
From the Pastor ....
    
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
 (Isaiah 55:12)
“There are no words.” This was my nephew’s verbal commentary to the changing of the leaves on a crisp Minnesota fall day. We were hiking at William O’Brien State Park last week and soaking in the beauty of the scenery. To witness the changing of four seasons through beginners eyes helps me to appreciate the wonder and beauty all around us. For many, fall is often a favorite season in our state. The trees are glorious, pumpkin spice lattes and apples are a delicious treat, and the temperatures remain moderate.
In the musical Hamilton, there is a line from one of the songs, “look around, look around. Aren’t we lucky to be alive right now?” It is so easy to get caught up and let our minds worry about the unknown future, or dwell on the past. Today is a gift—that is why it is called the “present.” Look around—God is ever present with us. The trees are clapping their hands and revealing the glory of God. May you sense the awe and beauty of this day and this life. Jesus is with you on your journey.
Faithfully ~ Pastor Karna
