Good Day Beloved,
The other evening while I was walking with the dog we kicked through a bunch of leaves on our path. They were so many hues of color. From pale yellow to dark red and everything in between.
I wondered if in the midst of God being so creative with His color palette does He ever get melancholy? For me the fall season is beautiful and calming and sad all at the same time.
I do enjoy the colors of fall, but I do not like the going to sleep and the death of fall. There is the anticipation of spring and new growth set against the death and decay of fall. The anticipation is for the harsh realities of winter. Life is suppressed and altered by a frozen blanket.
Well, at least here where I live anyways. Too soon the temps will be so that my little dog will stop asking to go for walks. The cat will want to nap by the fireplace while the dog snores in her bed. The cozy fire is set against the cold winter wind, melancholy, yeah.
Beloved I don’t set out to be a bummer, but you get what is rolling around in my little brain. You know I don’t really think God gets melancholy. He just knows that everything His creation has become needs a time of rest when it can gather strength for the regeneration of the coming spring.
One of my filters is melancholy and it tends to strong and dominate. Beloved, I hope the season change is good for you and brings you contentment.
Beloved, have a lovely…
