Wise and Mature


I took this photo yesterday, and saw the leaves on this tree. Could these be signs of fall already?

Hope your weekend was good, I had a lovely, quiet day yesterday and the weather was wonderful.

Arnoldo posted a quote from his 20 year old daughter yesterday concerning the recent shootings in the U.S. and I thought it was so mature and wise for her age. “There should be no argument as to who’s right or wrong. It all comes down to the same fault: people were killed senselessly. There are families hurting on both sides due to hate and violence. My prayer is for Peace in this country. Gracious, Everlasting, Unifying Peace.”

Those are wise words indeed. I don't know why some leaves turn colour so early, we have some like that here, although we have had so much rain. Have a good week, hugs, Valerie

Hi, Christine. I hope you had a good weekend.
My heart goes out to the victims of the shooting. It's getting so rampant and more terrifying. I really hope this will end soon.

Man I hope the seasons aren't so out of whack that you're already seeing orange leaves. People call for calm and to remember that what is important is that lives were lost every single time. Sadly no one ever does.

So true. But, people have been hating and killing each for centuries, even before Jesus Christ. This is nothing new at all.
