Glowing Leaves

It was a glorious morning - bright, clear, cold.  The air smelled so fresh.  We were in Maryland just a few days ago, and most of their fall color is gone.  We still have a few bright spots, however, and one of them stopped me in my tracks this morning.  It wasn't so much the color of the leaves - though they were a beautiful orange - as the way the sunlight was filtering through the trees, highlighting some parts while keeping others in shadow.  This one section of leaves just glowed with the light.  It's funny how God's light touches different parts of our lives at different times.  You never know when He will set something aglow in your life, but when it happens you just have to stop what you're doing and drink it in.  Today, God stopped me with those gorgeous orange leaves glowing in the morning light.
