As we say in Texas, Happy Fall Y'all!
God has blessed us this morning with beautiful skies and cooler temps. I love fall. In East Texas, we don't really get much change between seasons- but the sunrises and sunsets this time of year are amazing. There is one particular overpass in town that if you hit just right heading north at sunset, provides the most glorious display of pinks. They are colors that could not be created by anything other than a Divine hand.
Funny that He chooses pink for fall, since October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month. My mind is on cancer a lot these days, being so grateful for mine to be cured a little over a year ago, and having so many friends fighting with such courage and grace. It's been a particularly emotional few days with my best friend who is going to be under Hospice care starting today.
Jessica told me last night to be sure to check out their new window display at Blithe today before the streets are closed this afternoon for a party downtown. I was up early, worried about my friend, and no one else was up, so I drove down to have a look. I had to pull over and have a good cry.
The quote is from Anne Frank and it says,
"I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains."
I am humbled by my most amazing family and still shake my head at how God has blessed me so. The quote honors so many, but my precious Lynne is at the forefront as she has fought this lung cancer battle with God by her side and with all she has to give. And she has done it with grace. And she has done it with courage. And she has done it with beauty.
He makes beautiful things out of the dust.
