A lesson on devotion

THOMAS O. POYSER

On a bookshelf in my office a small frame holds a tiny leaf. The leaf is a reminder of an important lesson.

For some years my work required a great deal of automobile travel. And one fall, my wife and I started out on a wide-ranging trip through the western part of the United States. While we were packing the car, I noticed a leaf stuck under the chrome molding on one side of the car. My first inclination was to brush it off, but then the thought came: "Oh, well, it will drop off soon."
