Summary: Fall has arrived here in Iowa. The nights are cooler and the trees are beginning to change their colors.<br> I grew up in Iowa and have always loved fall time. But I lived in upstate New York for 18 years. The trees there have so much more color in the fall. Now that I am back in Iowa, I sometimes complain that the trees here are not as pretty as those in New York. But I need to remind myself that the truly wonderful thing is not the colors, but the fact that the seasons always change just as God promised.<br> Verse 22 of our Bible Reading tells us that after Noah and his family left the boat, God told Noah, <em>As long as the earth continues, there will always be a time for planting and a time for harvest. There will always be cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night on earth.</em> We can know that the seasons will change because God promised it!<br> God has also promised that Jesus will come again. We can depend on that promise, too!
