My Heart Leaf

Each morning, I gaze out my window at the two beautiful trees we have just beyond the house. As with every tree, these leaves are all individually and uniquely shaped - the leaves look like hearts. When I awaken, these glorious leaves are the first thing I see as I roll over toward Eric - my eyes drawn to a particular leaf, right in the center. This heart - a gentle reminder, as I admire the daylight, that love is the reason I climb out of bed each morning; the reason for my very existence. Love for my family, and love for my God, who caused this tree to produce a hint and a refocus to give me the aid I need to start my day inspired.
