I went hunting the other day….no not for an animal….but for a leaf! I was looking for beautiful leaves to preserve for a Thanksgiving decoration. (Yes, I am bypassing Halloween!)
Beautiful leaves…..perfect in color and shape and size and configuration. Looking out at my front yard I knew the task would take me but a minute. The trees are still sooooo colorful! The yellows and reds and oranges are so vibrant! But as I approached the tree, the leaves didn’t look perfect. Up close they were torn, faded, brown spotted and not what I expected. Alone they were imperfect. Together their weaknesses didn’t matter – the whole group supported them.
Ever feel that way? Alone you were weak, but with others you shined brightly?
That is God’s perfect plan for us….Imperfectly Perfect…Together! 🙂
