Reminds me of the church

This glorious tree in my front yard reminds me of the church.

When you look up close, you discover that all the various parts/leaves have holes or rips or marks on them.

 There is not a perfect leaf among them!

(I discovered this when I went out to cut some to bring in for a table centerpiece.)

But even though we are all broken, marred, and more holey than holy...

Still, somehow God ends up shining his light through...

And the whole thing ends up being pretty cool.
