Students returned today to school after various Thanksgiving routines. As I listened to their stories as they came off the bus, the common theme of food, family, and fall walks in the woods emerged. I'm pretty thankful that I live in an area of the world that is blessed with such an amazing display with the changing of the seasons. Reds, oranges, yellows....
I'm also a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes... the imagination and delight evident in the comic strip, the boy and his tiger mimic the experience of many of our kids. One of my favourites is one where Hobbes is so overcome by the beauty of the fall colours, that he has to stop and declare "Kapow, Fwoosh, Zingg!!" as he watches the virtual fireworks display that he imagines in the leaves of the trees.
May you be overwhelmed this season by God's fireworks as evident in His faithfulness in the changing of the seasons... May you be blessed by the imagination and insight we see in our children who continue to delight in simple pleasures and demonstrate childlike faith.
