The Perfect Leaf...


No, I'm not talking about Sundin or Lindros. If I were talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs, I would be referring to Wendel Clark or Doug Gilmour. But this is not about those "leafs" at all. The perfect leaf was found this afternoon. In fact, several were found. I was in the backyard with Karsyn and she decided it was "tea-time". She brought out her little plastic tea pot, filled it with water and then went on a search for the "perfect" golden leaf. She found it, exclaimed "It's Perfect!", placed it in the tea pot and said, "okay, now we need another perfect leaf - a red one!". This continued and we collected many more leaves.

God collects leaves too. We are His leaves. He has called us by name and claimed us for His own. When we respond to His calling we are sanctified, made perfect by the work of Christ on the cross. And He is always looking for more to "perfect". Have you responded to His call? "The Lord is... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2Peter 3:9
