Autumn leaves falling to the ground –

a whirling descent, without a sound.

But not without care from our Maker who sees,

Who formed and fashioned each tree with it’s leaves.

And if He cares about all of these leaves and trees,

How much more He cares for you and me!

Oh, God of mercy, help me believe,

and daily, this beautiful truth receive!

He beckons me consider the flowers and birds –

to let go of my burdens and hold on to His words,

to cast upon Him my every care . . .

then be still with birds’ songs and leaves twirling through air.

“Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?” Matthew 6:26

“Be still and consider the wondrous works of God.” Job 37:14
