So, my favorite season is fall. Living in Texas, we don't really get to see much of this season. A Texas 'fall' usually consists of 70 or 60 degree weather sweat shirts and football. Here, we actually get a season of fall. The leaves change color and it lasts for longer than a few days. The weather actually dips below 40 and it is COLD in the morning and warmer in the afternoon.
I had the privilege of getting to see the Czech Republic during this WONDERFUL season this past weekend. I traveled 8 hours one way by train to visit my fellow teachers in Cheb. It was a great opportunity to spend some time a lone and to see the beautiful country in which I live.
My mother, as most mothers do, asked for pictures of the journey. Well...I found myself so intrigued with the scenery that I forgot to take out my camera and capture the beauty. Plus I found myself frustrated with the results of my attempts at taking a picture from a moving train.
I did get a couple of pictures of the fall scenery from Cheb and will post them as soon as Blogger lets me. God's creation is so beautiful and I can't help but stand or sit in awe of how creative He is.
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
October 2008 on a train ride from Vilnius, Lithuania, to Prague, God introduced me to Babička Eliška and clarified in my mind a call to long-term, international missions. I remember being in awe of what you got to observe--His incredible creation, changing with the weather. Absolutely beautiful! I love you, friend!
