That Ol' Oak Leaf

This morning I watched a leave float on the wind.  It was bit peculiar.  I was out in the middle of a field-like area and the trees were not close by.  There was a gentle breeze and the clouds were clearing to usher in the full sunlight.  

I'm not real good with distance, but I would say the leaf was three stories up in the air.  All alone.  It was taking a marvelous flight.  It was floating on the wind.  Swirling, twirling, flipping and swooping low then high.  

It was just an average leaf.  It was a brown dried Oak leaf.  There are many around just like it.  Yet this one was different.  

It was completely caught up in the wind and taken on an adventure.  

No eyes other than mine and it's Creator saw that leaf dance this morning. 

I am like that average ol' Oak leaf.  I bet you are too.  My desire is to let loose and soar like that.  To trust God completely.  To close my eyes and let the eyes of faith be my sight.  I smile with a sweet peace knowing that my Creator is my only audience.  Perhaps a passer by will catch a glimpse and see His glory in the soaring adventure He carries us on.  Perhaps they too will be inspired to let loose and place their trust in Him.
