Time to Rejoice

'Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the peace of God will be you.' -Philippians 4:4-9

And this is why the picture of the ball in the leaves. I saw this outside today while just trying to take in the last bit of the leaves before they are gone. This time of year is about rejoicing for me. Whether it's the idea of the upcoming holidays, the now undefeated Titans, or the simply beautiful creation that are these leaves. Whatever it is, it sure makes it easy to rejoice and to enjoy the good things in life. I can see God in these things.
