golden yellow leaves

during this time of year, some people get snow... some people get sun.... what do i get?! beautiful golden yellow leaves up and down my street in san jose... ive never enjoyed turning into my street as much as i have these past few weeks. as i stared at these leaves from my window, there came joy and sadness as i knew that these leaves wouldn't look like this forever. in a matter of a few days, the wind and rain would strip these trees from its intense color and beauty... but i also knew that it would bring a new season...ive realized that in my life and through the "transitions" we face, God has a divine purpose and plan for the times before and after the 'golden yellow leaves' are present. theres times we can feel stripped from all that we know and all that were comfortable with, and it can be tough, but next thing you know, the new season is there and it'll bring beauty that we haven't ever thought to imagine.
