    I’m happy to hear you’re both safe and didn’t get injured. It does remind us to look after ourselves. I loved the tea poem and the autumn picnic. The passage from the novel was so touching. Sad but also reassuring. It makes us value the stillness in ourselves and reminds us to live in the moment. I am so proud to have your beautiful creations and a leaf from the graveyard in my home too now. You’re wonderful artists and beautiful souls. 💓

But it is. The beautiful narration you both did between the two leaves left on the old oak tree.

    AUTUMN REFLECTIONS - Autumn leaves 🍁🍂🍂 drift down from the woodland canopy. A gentle breeze carries red, yellow and gold, in an airborne journey. They look like tiny sails, landing upon the stone wall and littering the ground. In the absence of man made sounds, there is a soft crackling as they collide into each other, swirl and settle to earth. I feel privileged to watch this progress of season into yet another Autumn. The change never ceases to amaze me. Be quick! Be a witness to this metamorphosis or it is gone for another year's passing.
    And so, I make a memory of stored treasure, tucking a vivid red Maple leaf into the pages of my book ~ Diane

    Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Too many people don’t know where they will go when they die. Following Jesus gives you the assurance you will go to heaven.

    Jesus said in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
