I am Overwhelmed...

...by the goodness of God! This morning, as I was driving home after taking DD#2 to work, I passed the home for sale w/the closed gift shop attached to the barn that I've been praying about starting my bulk food business in. As always, I pray, pray, pray for God's gracious miracle of provision & wisdom. I need God's provision & wisdom b/c, as many of you know, my DH was laid off from April until about 3 weeks ago when he started a 2 month temp job. As he received no severance pay, ALL of our savings are completely & utterly depleted. But I'm operating on faith in the provision of my dear & mightly God to provide...daily needs AS WELL AS in the desires of my heart about the business. God knows that my favorite season is fall - in Ohio the colors are magnificient, but w/our cool summer & fall rains, this fall has been one of the most beautiful & longest lasting I can ever remember in my 50 years. So, as I was driving home, after once again passing the house/business that is on my heart, & praying as I always do when passing it...my country drive home took me past some of the most incredible beauty! We are past our 'peak' of 'high color' & now are settling down to the earthy & almost palpable deep golds, rusts/browns & burgandies. Oh, the glory!!! Tears came to my eyes & I began to praise the Lord for the beauty of His creation. For how BLESSED I am to have eyes to see this beauty! For ears to hear the praises of His people & the music of all nature praising His Name in the song of the birds, the falling rain, the wind in the trees! For the sense of smell that I can appreciate the comfort of the scent of fallen leaves mingling w/fireplace smoke wafting through the air during a walk! For the sense of touch that I can appreciate the comforting warmth of a favorite sweater against the chill of the fall air, & the love felt while holding my husband's hand. For the sense of taste that I may savor the seasonal goodness of cider, pumpkin pie or fresh-baked bread. And even for the "6th sense" of a soul saved from eternal serperation from the loving God Who created it all for His children to enjoy! Thank You, Lord! I am overwhelmed by Your goodness today.
