Loving God,

Thank You for the gift of autumn in Portland, where the hills blush with amber and the air carries a crisp promise of renewal. May the yellow leaves remind us of Your ever‑changing grace, and may the gentle rain whisper Your mercy upon our hearts. Help us to walk among the firs and maples with gratitude, to breathe in the fragrant pine and cedar, and to see Your love reflected in every golden sunrise and misty sunset. Teach us to cherish this season’s beauty, to share its warmth with others, and to carry its quiet wonder into every day of our lives.

Amen.

Surrounded in yellow ...

A lone autumn leaf dances in the breeze.
