October Valentine 2
by Lesley-Anne Evans "Come and listen to what He has done in my life..." It was a bright October day, and after dropping our children at school, I decided to take my dog for a walk along the Mission Creek Greenway. It was wonderful on the path that day; the creek sparkling and gurgling beside me, and the poplar trees at the height of fall colour, illuminated in the sunshine. As I walked, I felt a growing sense of well-being, and I thought to myself, "You are here God." I began to hum and then sing right out loud because no-one else was there but me. I worshipped God, feeling a closeness to him that I hadn't in a long time. I looked up at the colourful trees, and wanting to somehow save this beauty, I stopped to pick up some leaves from the ground. And that is when I noticed... the leaf in my hand was heart-shaped, like a yellow valentine. And, at that very moment, I heard God say in my own heart, "I am here, and I love you, I love you!" So, I stood there, surrounded by the glowing heart shaped leaves, and I felt the touch of God. Lesley-Anne writes to share hope, encouragment and small graces with those God puts in her path.
