The Bells of Freedom
Autumn is approaching and it's
always been one of my favorite
time of seasons!
I can see signs of the new brisk
season around me!
As I walk through the stores I
can see the beautiful orange,
yellow, and rustic colors!
The pumpkins and mums
look so vibrant
and always seems to fit the
Autumn scene!
But as for me sometimes it's
not easy to receive the
invitation before me!
I know God speaks through
his seasons!
He is the one that created
all of its beauty and charm.
But I sometimes can't make
a move to get with the program!
The morning chilly air reminds
me of its approach!
I put on my sweatshirt and
head out my door!
Maybe I need to simply take
a walk to feel the autumn
air!
I began walking and
sipping on my hot cocoa,
and enjoying the sounds that
surrounds me.
I look up in the sky
and ask Our Lord,
"Are you with me?"
"I seemed so tired
and worn down!"
"Can you my Lord
help me with this
new season?"
"Where is my joy?"
I look to the left of
me and I can see
a young couple walking
into a coffee shop!
I look over to the
right side of me and
I can see an elderly
woman walking her
tiny dog!
I can hear behind me
a city bus approaching
and coming to a stop.
People began getting
off the bus to go about
their day! But I remember
one of them was a male
about in his forties and he
had difficulty climbing
down the bus steps.
He had his jacket on
carrying a lunch box.
I could hear the bus driver
yell out to him, "Have a great
day Carl!" Don't work to hard
cleaning those hospital
floors!"
I looked at Carl as he proceeded
down the sidewalk towards the
hospital. He had a limp but kept
ongoing about his day!
Suddenly, I could hear
the cities church bells!
I noticed Carl looking up
to the sky as he was
listening to the ringing
of the bells!
It was noon and the church
bells were so beautiful!
I could barely see the church
tower in the distance and
a flood of peace fell upon
me!
It's Jesus reminder that
he is near me
and hasn't forgotten me!
The church bells is our
Lord beckoning us all
for his attention!
I decide to walk into my
church and pray.
I look up to God in all
of his holiness and say,
"Be with me Lord!"
"I humbly ask him
what can I do for you today?"
I end my prayer in saying,
"Show me the way!"
By that time as I was
leaving the church,
it was one o-clock
in the afternoon.
The Church Bells gave
a beautiful ring!
As I walked out the
church doors, I felt
of peace and look
up towards heaven
and God answered me
in my heart+
The Bells of Freedom!
