Gathering the Leaves #1218

Gathering the Leaves In the desert wilderness where shadows stretch long and the grass thins, God leaves the ninety-nine behind to seek the one who has wandered. In the dusk-lit sands, the baptized journey with weary feet and hopeful hearts, like autumn leaves scattered yet yearning for the fold. Through the twilight shadows and across the vast expanse, a miracle unfolds: a camel threads the needle’s eye. What seems impossible softens into possibility as the weak and strong, the hidden and seen, find their places beneath the stars. The desert is vast, the dunes daunting, yet the scattered leaves wait for the call to gather home. Will you tread these paths with Him, seeking the lost and weaving miracles from the impossible? Will you bring back those who ache for the fold and make the impossible possible? Written by Steven G. Lee (May 7, 2024)
