Colossians 3:10 NASB "and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it"They just look different! Today's Word speaks to us about change and putting on the new self! They are beautiful as the leaves change colors but eventually all the leaves fall off and the trees look bare. I couldn't help but think that when we first come to know Jesus, we begin to lose some of the things that were part of our life. They slowly slip away as we put on a new self, the new image we are in Christ.  Letting go of the past, the things we held on to can be painful but being renewed in Christ means that we are new.  Don't let the falling away of the things we used to like to do keep us from enjoying the beauty of coming to know Christ.  Enjoy the newness of life found in Christ! peace, tom
