Lake Wanoka
A morning walk in the woods, Leaves strewn on my path Like an afghan covering the shoulders of the earth. The sun creeps up the towering pines And peers over the top Spilling golden light over the pond—round and still and smooth. The circling maples drip color Across the water, mirroring so perfectly, I see no visible boundary between real and reflection. The forest has shed the quiet Green of summer, And Autumn dances her way through the trees. Susan R. Lawrence I am like this little lake. Sometimes, I am so full of Jesus, and I reflect the glory and beauty of my Lord. At other times, I show only the murky shadows of what is inside my own selfish heart. Lord, help me be a pure and true reflection of your love today. 2 Corinthians 3:18 And we who with unveiled faces all reflect God's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
