In the later part of September I was blessed to see Kokanee salmon gathering and moving upstream to spawn in Wyoming. They do not move independently as in a race where there is only one winner. It seems that they start pooling in the lake where they still feed. Then they press on into the stream and seek to pair-up with a partner.

For God’s name sake, the rocky heights were alive with color – a picture of the earth rejoicing that Jesus reigns!

Inspired by God’s Word to meditate on what I have seen God do in the abundance of His love. Then make it known as He purposed for His name’s sake.

When I saw icicles hanging from the roof of our barn, I ran back to the house to get my camera so I could share the glory of what God breathed. It was an encouragement, a reminder of God’s glory.
