Earth Day Every Day!

I'd been at my new job at my church for only a couple weeks when one day I walked into the reception area where two of my coworkers were chatting. One of them looked up at me.

"Everything you wear is green or brown," she stated, matter-of-factly.

I looked down at myself. "Yes," I replied, just as matter-of-factly.

One of the pastors stopped me a couple days ago.

"Kari," he said, "What's the leaf?"

I looked down at the charm around my neck, a real leaf dipped in gold and hung on a leather strap.

"A gift from my husband," I answered.

"But what does it mean?" He asked.

"I've always been inspired to worship God by his creation. I kinda like leaves...I don't know if you've noticed all my clothes are green and brown..."

He smiled and nodded, then walked away.
