This leaf fell from a tree today and came to rest upon my shoulder.

It fell ever so gently there its presence was almost unknown to me.

O, how that reminds me of the love God pours down from Heaven.

It rests gently upon us guiding and protecting us.

It is the quiet force that sees us through the most turbulent times.

How often, though, God's love also goes unnoticed and unappreciated.

But it is there and He is there, always, just the same.

Just as this leaf was there today, gently resting upon my shoulder.
