Colors of Blessing

By Susan Nikitenko

 
“But let all those rejoice
who put their trust in You; Let
them ever shout for joy, because
You defend them; Let those also
who love Your name Be joyful in You”. 
Psalm 5:11

 

ould the angels have special jobs;
Like painting leaves of fall?
Can’t mighty God do anything?
He has created all.

Perhaps angels spread out their wings;
To paint the swirls of fall.
Upon the trees of mountain tops;
And on the forests tall.

A swish of orange, a splash of gold;
A whirl of autumn red.
Every creature great and small;
I’m sure would lift their head.

From tree to tree each color grows;
and spreads across the land.
A gift from God to be enjoyed;
Made by his perfect hand.

Each angel flying here and there;
Spreading colors of joy.
And when leaves flutter to the ground;
It makes a rainbow toy.

Children jumping, children laughing;
In the colorful mounds.
Up pops a smiling little face;
With all the fun filled sounds.

And like a child I too will laugh;
I’ll jump right in with glee.
And enjoy this lovely blessing;
He’s given you and me.

I’m not to old to play in leaves;
Too old to have some fun.
I’ll roll around and giggle too;
I’ll have joy in the Son.

He fills my heart up with laughter;
He is so good you see.
He’s painted such lovely world;
It is inside of me.

Jumping daily in His presence;
A colorful array.
Jump into Joy, Jump into peace;
Enjoy each and every day.

Jump happily, into kindness;
Jump with glee into love.
Be happy and most joyful;
Shining like Him above.

Leave a lasting essence of hope;
To all eyes watching you.
A rainbow of blessing awaits;
Come, jump into it too.
