Autumn Evening Meditation

Songs of the crickets are heard at night

While the moon looks over us gold and bright

Some parts of the earth are tired and at rest

While other lands wake up laughing and refreshed

Sights and sounds fill the atmosphere

Prayers are spoken –at times with a tear

This world is more than we will ever know

And yet what we know already is enough

To make faithful hearts see the beginning

To the end… doesn’t start with us –rather

We are part of a sacred circle

Joined to Lord Jesus.

We cannot hold all things

In our hands... but we know who does

And He understands our hopes and fears, our

tears and cries – It is He who helps us to

realize – His truth at all times will stand

eternal–and Scripture …like His circle, cannot

be broken. In Him, we are made whole and complete.
