The Hudson River Valley, during the fall, attracts visitors from
all over the world. As you walk or drive, along the Hudson, it’s
like a picture coming to life with vibrant colors and crisp clean
air. Personally my favorite time is going for walks, with my pal
Roxy. She a mixed breed dog and at 2 ½ years old is very
frisky. She enjoys casing the deer and sniffing turtles. We
have 230 acres at the end of my street and after 33 years in
the same house I know almost every inch of the paths but
each walk is unique unto itself especially in the fall. You might
hear an occasional bird or squirrel running in the dry leaves
but for most of the walk it’s quiet. A great time to clear my
head and fill my spirit with Gods gracious gift of nature and
His love.
Knowing I never walk alone, my brother Jesus and I have
good talks. I give God thanks for the two most important
days in my life – the first is when I was born and the second
is understanding why. As you know, the first is a onetime
event but the second unfolds when someone calls upon me
or I upon someone for help. Being a Knight gives me the
opportunity to be part of something bigger and the ability to
understand how powerful we are to fulfill the Gospel on
earth. It’s the interaction with others that makes God visible
in my life. A person recently asked me to prove the existence
of God and my response was – “Don’t worry He will prove it
to you in His time”.
So I ask you to get out there, walk and enjoy God’s gift of
nature and each other.
Peace,
Deacon Ray
Thanks to all of our
Veterans!
