Doug Creamer: He really loves us

I went for a walk early in the week. The sky was a beautiful Carolina blue. The sun was low in the sky and it illuminated the fall leaves that were still hanging on the trees. I heard a few birds chirping and some squirrels scampering around in the fallen leaves. The air was comfortable. It was a perfect day for a walk. Several neighbors were out working on the leaves that had fallen in their yards. Beyond that, it was so peaceful. What I mean is that it was peaceful around me and in me. I could sense the Lord’s presence as I walked. I waited to see what was on His mind. I walked quite a way and realized He hadn’t said anything. Finally, I asked, “What’s on your heart?” There was no answer, just His peaceful presence. I continued walking, admiring fall’s beauty in the trees, some camellias that were blooming, and some mums that were doing their best to show their colors. It seemed He was enjoying me enjoying the beauty of fall.
