We took a different path today and walked to a neighboring housing development.  There were beautiful lawns and grand houses but no color.  As we headed down the main road to come home, there across the street was a tall stately oak tree with red leaves on top followed by neon green leaves and lastly yellow.  

    Right in front of it was a sapling with the exact same color scheme and order.  It looked like the little one wanted to be just like the older mature tree when it was growing up.  The trees were like a Father and child standing together.  The Father standing guard over and directing the growth of the son.  The child idolizing his Father and wanting to be just like him.






     God is:  Big standing over small.  Loving Father, Good Shepherd

                   Small growing just like the older more mature one.  "follow me"; "be holy as I am holy"
