Leaves--we crunch them underfoot, little realizing the amazingly complex chemical plants they are. In any leaf, some of the cells are lined up straight, like small soldiers, storing light from the sun and the water from the rain, so that they can be chemically changed by carbon dioxide entering the leaf from the flat cells underneath. The result of water + light = chemical energy. Chemical energy+ carbon dioxide = sugar/ nutrient for the tree or plant. The changing process releases oxygen for us; we breathe in the oxygen and release carbon dioxide for the leaf to use.
In one leaf, life on earth is balanced and continues for the health of both plants and people----If we could only see the same kind of processes repeated on multiple levels throughout the entire universe, it would probably overwhelm us: The beauty, the balance, the order, the systematic design of everyday things!
Where is God? There He is!
