                     Falling Leaves
   As I see the falling leaves all around us.  It reminds me of the manna falling around the Israelites.  Fresh manna everyday.  God's blessings surrounds us each day.  His mercy and love is new everyday great is His faithfulness to us. 
  
   The leaves on the tree exist for the benefit of others.  It provides nourishment for the tree.  Birds and other animals build nest in the tree and the leaves provide cover for their protection.  Leaves provide shade for animals as well as humans.  Leaves exist for the benefit of others.  When, they fall to the ground they provide nourishment for the tree. 

   God's plan for us is to benefit others.  Are we living up to what God designed us to do?
Happy Thanksgiving

The Best Thanksgiving Day
    By A. B. Simpson

As we gather 'round our fireside                         While we love to"count our blessings,"
On this new Thanksgiving Day,                           Grateful for the year that's gone,
Time would fail to count the blessings                  Faith would sweep a wider wision,
That have followed all our way;                           Hope would gaze yet further on.
                                                                      
Grace sufficient, help and healing,                        For the signals all around us
Prayer oft answered at our call;                           Seem with one accord to say,
And the best of all our blessings,                          "Christ is coming soon to bring us
Christ Himself, our all and all.                               Earth's last, best Thanksgiving Day"!
