October Poems, Songs, & Praise

Who knows what bright October suns

May light up distant valleys mild,

Where as our pathway downward runs

We see Joy meet us, like a child.

-Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

Autumn on the Prairie

   "For this is the message you

have heard from the beginning;

we should love one another."

1 John 3:11

Beautiful Fall River Scene

Slow Down

Slow down and stop your hurry,

Take your time, for life will wait.

Smell the flowers, hear the birds

Even if it makes you late.

Let your eyes feast on the beauties,

Let God touch you as you stroll.

As you view His great creation

Let His message fill your soul.

Slow down, and take time to listen,

You'll have joy as your reward.

The sky of blue, the sea that glistens

All are miracles of the Lord.

Walking in gratitude and wonder

Finding pleasures ever new.

The blessings of our great Creator

Made for us to daily view.

Slow down, take it not for granted

All this beauty 'round to share.

But know that all of Nature's beauty

Speaks of God's great love and care.

-Helen Gleason

The Glory of the Season

Ogden, Utah

"Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people’s everlasting light,
Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,
And hear Thy servants when they call."

"Creator Of The Stars At Night"

7th century hymn

 October's chilly nights are a

stargazer's delight!

"Show me Your ways, O Lord;

teach me Your paths.

Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness

and teach me, for You are the

God of my salvation;

For You do I wait expectantly

all the day long."

Psalm 25:4-5
