Rejoice

My heart is so full of fall beauty.   

          
The kind that saturates all the senses. 


We've spent many a Monday evening in the mountains, drinking in the color, loving the cool breeze, listening to flowing water, playing Pooh sticks.
     

Beautiful memories. Enriched by the river of peace, and conviction, and confidence that results from two days of conference.

   
And a morning scripture session uncovered by prohibitive pavilions


 Why can't every reading be like that?! 


More, I'm sure, could be.

     

I'm determined to try a little harder.

 

To ask more often. 


For the kind of faith that is a gift, daily renewed.

      

Rather than a remembered witness. 


These musings are vague. 

     

But my soul knows (and treasures) the certain details.


And I can't help lifting up my heart.

    

And my voice.


To rejoice in the reality of the Savior's loving leadership. Collective and personal. 


Hope it was a wonderful weekend for all of you!

Beautiful pictures! I'm loving this Fall (and loved General Conference, though I missed a few here and there so am anxious to catch the talks I missed--and those I heard and loved--again).
