An Enveloping Grandeur

This day flew by in a flurry of beauty and duty... spending as much time as possible outside on a perfect fall day! Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Neighbours cutting corn...The hum of a harvester is one of my favorite fall tunes! First grape harvest...at last!(After years of waiting, eight grapes😅!!) A striking chord of color takes the countryside by stormLike an autumnal orchestra delighted to performWhat a terrific montage nature’s conductor untwistsGenerous virtuoso of choirs and soloistsAs planting season’s hope rings with harvest hymn’s crescendoAnd fills heights, deeps and slopes with visual arpeggio An enchanting ensemble of crimson, scarlet and goldIgnites each woodland candle before it turns dark and coldWhere glory-hallelujah meets us from The Hand that givesWith beauty that depletes the poet’s pen of adjectivesAnd thankfulness is at a loss for words; the creature knowsThat we are so unworthy of the goodness God bestows A sacred exaltation is unfurled in autumn’s blazeThe wonders of creation never ceasing to amazeAh, how can we be quiet when the whole earth shouts His nameIn an unrivaled riot of panoramas aflameWhere only fools do not join in, declaring ‘it is good’God’s divine nature clearly seen and clearly understood …where aspen halos shimmer like lampposts along the laneWhere silver poplars glimmer against backdrops blue with rainWhere hemlock, oak and mountain ash, willow and maple treeSpill green and bronze and garnet splash to autumn’s symphonyEvoking in its splendor a most tender beckoningAn enveloping grandeur bidding everyone to sing © Janet Martin ...and last but not least a big pan full of black beans!I hope to try the above recipe tomorrowsubstituting black beans for corn
