| The poet reminds us that "only God can make a tree." On a recent hiking
excursion to Hope Valley in the Sierra Mountains, I was struck once again by the glory of
aspen trees, which bear such graceful witness to His great love. During autumn in the
mountains, stands of aspen shimmer in the breeze like liquid gold. I say
"liquid" because the delicate leaves rustle and flicker as they dance with the
wind just as water does.
A wise minister of my acquaintance coined the word "gracelets" for the small blessings God bestows upon us. When I enjoy the golden dance of the aspen leaves, I know just what he meant. -Thomas Kinkade |
