So this little thought ran through my head as I've been enjoying the autumnal amazingness. Sometimes you will look at a tree throughout the year, and it looks like a scraggly one. Kind of a "mangy" look to the tree. But then, October rolls around, and all of a sudden the tree bursts into a vibrant orange and red. I drive past the DMV on my way to work, and most of the time it is a depressing place - sometimes with lines outside the door! But in October, the small trees in and around the parking lot BURST into fire-colored plumage. I love it, and I love driving by there.
Some people are like those trees. We look at their outside and think that they are nothing special. But then we find a moment that is a burst of glory where they show their true colors. They show that they are beautiful spirits. Just like you can't judge a book by its cover, or a tree in January, you can't judge people just by a glimpse of them on one day. There is so much beauty in nature and in people!
I don't have pictures of the trees (imprudent to take pictures while driving), but you can read this old post with lots of pics of autumnal glory.
