A Touch of Color

As I looked across Creech Lake last weekend, my eye was immediately drawn to this single tree on the hillside that was different from all of the others.  While my friend of Wild Saunter would immediately be able to quote genus and species of this tree, I simply noted how even the slightest difference can be so apparent.

Do you blend into the crowd, or is there something about you that people will see is different if they but take a moment to look?  What is the color that people will notice in you? I hope they see in me a care and concern for others.  I hope they see a little of what I claim to be, that being, a follower of Christ. I hope that my life is colored by love, care, and concern for others. I hope my life is colored by service to others. If I am colored in such away that people see the difference, a difference that is appealing, then maybe through that they can learn the reason why I am colored the way I am.
