Cindy and I have about 15 trees on our property, many of them soft maples. Each spring we estimate about 100 million of those little helicopter things spin around as they fall out of those maples filling our roof, our gutters and our yard as summer approaches. Equally, in the fall we rake up about 6 semi-truck loads of leaves.
Yesterday, I noticed one of the other trees (not a soft
maple) has a single green leaf still hanging on like it’s mid-summer. All the
other trees, and even this tree, are completely devoid of leaves…except for this
one valiant leaf, defying the odds, not giving in to the notion that winter is
coming.
It’s like…“the little engine that could”…except I would
call it “the little leaf that won’t”.
Given the year we've had....let's all act like the little green leaf.....and keep hangin' in there.
REMEMBER:
When going through difficult times remember, you are here
for a reason. God has a plan for your life. You are a child of God and you are
loved. You can’t always see the plan or feel the love but you can trust in the
One who created you for a purpose.
Be talkin' to ya.
Dan
