The fall colors are showing all their glory right now.....autumn has come quickly and early.
When I think of fall colors, I think of richness....depth....comfort...I like to wear them, I like to see them...I have them in my house....wardrobe....I am drawn to people who wear them as well...
When I helped with weddings, my favorite were the fall weddings with the fall colors...even though all the others were lovely as well...
Spring colors are newness, pastels, baby colors, beautiful In their own way. To me, they speak of beginnings, with the pale shades ready for growth....softness, that you want to cuddle in .....
Winter colors are vivid to block out the coldness of the season...with Christmas colors of red and green, which when mixed, turns to brown . And Brown seems to be the color of the outdoors in winter unless it snows into whiteness , crispness, cold....
Summer has mature spring colors..real greens, yellows, blues....
But, then I come back to autumn colors...the depth before the death and fading away, getting ready for the brown of winter....the preparation for winter sleep,...the things go dormant to prepare for the newness of spring....
Such a cycle....all ordained, planned out for our enjoyment....our lives....picture of life, death and resurrection......
Thank You for your beauty again shown in nature as a reminder of the cycles of life...Your life for us.....the seasons that You planned...for growth....rest.....newness, depth...the richness, comfort of Your word....it never ceases to give light...life....time after time....season after season....
