Colorado Fall Colors - Contrasting Trees timberlinetrails.net

With one cottonwood in full
fall colors, and the other still
in summer green one may
wonder how this could be
when both are in such close
proximity.
In the fall, the decrease in
intensity and shorter hours
of sunlight and the changes
in temperatures cause the
leaves to stop their
food-making process. The
chlorophyll breaks down,
the green color disappears,
and the other pigments
already in the leaf become
visible.
This fact tells us that even
though one may think that
each tree has had the exact
same conditions (due to
their closeness), there must
have nevertheless been
differences in the soil and
light that surrounds them.
1 Cor 12:4-6
There are different kinds of
gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are different kinds of
service, but the same Lord.
There are different kinds of
working, but the same God
works all of them in all men.
(NIV)
