I am looking forward to autumn...
Here in New York, it is beautiful in the Fall when the leaves turn different colors, and the air is crisp and cool.
I am learning to thank the Lord for the "little things," like watching a flock of geese flies over my head or being able to feel the cool autumn air blowing over my head or being able to feel the cool autumn air blowing against my face.
In addition, I am grateful for the good friendships I have with those who are of the same faith as me.
Today I was blessed with a visit from my Christian friend, Mark, who travelled from Pennsylvania to fellowship with me. I had such a good time of spiritual refreshing. And Mark and I prayed together too. I feel as if I've known him all my life.
Then yesterday, Darrell Scott came by with his son, Mike. Darrell, who lost his daughter Rachel Joy during the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, was on his way to Long Island to share his daughter's story of forgiveness and hope (see Rachel's Challenge).
It was a wonderful privilege to be able to spend a couple of hours with Darrell and Mike, and to hear about the good things God is doing through them.
I am thankful for this short respite in between my times of persecution and trials.
