The leaves are falling

I love when the leaves change from green, to yellow, to radiant orange, sometimes red, to brown, and then fall to the ground.  It has been GORGEOUS driving in our neighborhood with the leaves changing and falling all around us.  Lucky for us, we have several large trees, and never a shortage of leaves covering our yard.  Jackson and I headed outside while daddy was raking the leaves, and enjoyed a good hour of romping around in them!  What joy to experience life through a 2 year old's eyes.  I remember when my dad used to rake the leaves for us, and let us run and jump around in them.  It was so much fun back then, but even more so now that I get to do it with my own son.  

Thank you, Jesus, for the small things.  For the simple blessings.  

Please open our eyes, that we may notice them everyday and give thanks.
