~ thankful for transformation...for the process of change that occurs in the leaves each year...and for the process of transformation in me...I am not the same person as I was last year or even last week; and, in the future, I will be different than I am now...when I get discouraged by my failures, I need to remember the old song by Joel Hemphill that says,
"He's still working on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be,
He's still working on me."
~ one of our maples, on October 12
~ the same maple, on October 15
~ the same maple again, on October 18...how quickly the process of transformation in this tree!...how slowly I find myself being transformed...still, I find myself uplifted by this visual reminder of glorious change; and when I see these leaves, I will be reminded of God at work within me
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. - 2 Corinthians 3:18

What beautiful pictures!!
What a true sentiment too!!
I guess so long as we are always changing we are always growing, right? I hope so any way! Have a blessed week!
That is amazing to see the same tree and the color changes...I LOVE it!
