As the leaves of the trees turn color in the autumn so do the leaves of your life turn through the years. Ever evolving, always changing, like the brightly colored patterns in a kaleidoscope. Woven with dreams and hopes, memories and plans for the future the years converge upon each other, one after the other in relentless timely fashion.

It is up to each of us to seize the opportunities that present themselves to us...to enjoy each passing moment, to live life to the fullest. Just as the colorful autumn leaves give way to the bare branches of winter so do our lives run out of season. Don't waste a single, precious moment of the life God has given you. Live it to the fullest - for each day that passes is a day gone forever.
