While in Mass yesterday, facing the altar and crucifix, I could peer out the large glassed window behind them. The serene land seen could show me fall had come, with the trees holding golden leaves. I had a sad moment, thinking of what had been alive is now gone for another season, when once again, it will come back to life. To me it was another sign of the resurrection.
My thoughts were only sad for a moment, as a realized how one piece of greenery is now gone, but in its place are the signs of a harvest. There are the reds and greens of chile, the beautiful brightly colored orange pumpkins, the purples of eggplant, and the golden rows of wheat. What a scene I had in my mind, during the Eucharistic Prayer. I saw how the Holy Spirit was at work once again, showing where there is sadness, there is also hope. I realized that while I continue to be nurtured by the Holy Spirit, I am also being nurtured by all the foods of autumn. A moment of thanks and a smile deemed necessary, as I see once again, He always provides! Amen!
