Something was swirling and twirling above the bed of the pick-up truck in front of us—trailing out over the interstate in a multi-colored ribbon. “What is that?” I asked my wife.
It was leaves.
As we passed the truck, I saw them–piled up high behind the cab.
“It’s an old-fashioned cordless leaf blower!” I chuckled. “What a genius idea: don’t bag or burn your leaves, load them in the back of your pick-up truck and go for a drive.” I’m familiar with live-streaming, but this was my first encounter with leaf-streaming.
By the time we reached the next exit, a spiritual application came into focus. What am I leaving in my wake, swirling and twirling and trailing behind me? Does it reflect God’s love? I hope so.
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
Jesus- John 13:34-35 (NIV)
Kind reader, it’s not our astounding biblical knowledge, or the ability to defend our beliefs that ultimately catches the world’s attention, it’s loving others the way Jesus does.
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:11 (NIV)
Thank you for reading. 🙏🍂🍃❤️ Prayers and God’s leaf-blowing love. 🍃🍃🍂🍃
