Leaves

In looking for pictures to share today,I noticed all the leaves I had gotten images of.

I began to think of how each leaf represents a part of my life.

Some days I feel like a plain old brown Oak leaf,not much to look at and left to go unnoticed on the ground.

Many a day I feel like my life is filled with holes.Broken pieces that are no more a part of my life.

Still I see beauty in this leaf.I trust that God still sees beauty in my life as well.

Some days are a little brighter. I may feel more like a sunshine yellow leaf.

Can I still praise God even when the wind has knocked me to the ground? I pray that my life will bring glory to Him.

Many a day I feel like the last leaf on the tree,just barely holding on.Still I know that God has a reason for me to be right where I am

As unbelievable as it may seem,some days I feel like a beautiful leaf which glows with joy found deep within.

A promise given to me by God about three years ago now is found in Isaiah 43:2

When you pass through the waters,I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire,you will not be burned;

the flames will not set you ablaze.

These words were true then and I have found them to be just as true today. 

God is my strength.
