Time for the Happy Dance...

Fall has fallen - and we're loving it!

Psalm 8:1-4

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory in the heavens.

 

Through the praise of children and infants

    you have established a stronghold against your enemies,

    to silence the foe and the avenger.

 

When I consider your heavens,

    the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

    which you have set in place,

 

what is mankind that you are mindful of them,

    human beings that you care for them?

Let the raking and bagging begin!!

I thought this was a beautiful leaf!
