Autumn leaves
It's autumn here. Everywhere I go there's this stunning look of autumn leaves.
I love autumn leaves. I love that golden, picturesque look of the trees. I just love it. It's so beautiful to me.
It's interesting. When you think a bit more about the falling leaves, it should be a sad time: all the leaves are dying and perishing, and the cold winter's coming. But at this seemingly dying season, the nature gives the leaves a glorious sense of beauty. Nobody really feels sorry for those leaves(unless your super sentimental), as everyone knows it's just a season, and when spring comes, they'll come back: there's life in those trees, they look different in each seasons, the temporary falling doesn't mean they're dying.
This made me really appreciate the life that God has put in us. At times there're things that He takes away. At times we seem to be failing, withering. At times when you reason it, we could even look as if we're dead. But when there's life of God in us, these moments can actually be beautiful, like those glorious looks of autumn trees. When in the natural everything says,it's finished, in the spirit we know, it's just a season, and when spring comes back, things will be totally different. From the world point of view, we should be feeling sad and depressed, but in the spirit, we can just relax and enjoy the beauty of the "autumn leaves".
Autumn leaves are romantic to me. They always bring back beautiful memories. To me, it's a romantic season.
