In the fall color changes, not everything turns at the same time or in the same way. Only a few minutes after noticing poison oak patches, I noticed a mixed patch of poison oak and virginia creeper. Some had turned; some were still green. God reminded me of his patience with us when we are at different stages of life or situations. We grow impatient with each other when we don’t all learn or understand things at the same time or in the same way. God, however, works with each one and all the apparent differences without respect of persons. The result is something beautiful–like the variety in this image.
