"We must never quit reminding ourselves of God's presence and glory lest we quit doing what we're doing out of allegiance to him and love for others and do it for ourselves."
~PD Tripp, "Lead"
October held so many beautiful things to remind us of God's presence and glory. Spider lilies that always seem to shoot up overnight.
Wheel bugs. New to me, but according to Wikipedia:
North American wheel bugs are highly regarded by organic gardeners because they consume a variety of insects and their presence indicates a healthy, pesticide-free ecosystem. "They're the lion or the eagle of your food web," Dr. Michael J. Raupp, an entomologist at the University of Maryland, notes. "They sit on top. When you have these big, ferocious predators in your landscape, that tells me that this is a very healthy landscape, because all these other levels in your food web are intact."
As silly as it sounds, when we are overseas, I miss acorns. This year is a mast year, and I keep collecting acorns of all sizes and colors. I just can't get enough.
