The leaves have blown away…
John wants to give up as he watches his neatly raked piles fly around the neighbourhood.
Mother and son snuggle on the couch with a hot drink and wait for the storm to pass. She tells a story…
Long ago John Corliss wanted to give up, but he didn’t because God was with him. Then a soggy tract changed everything!
Will John rake the leaves for Mrs Jameson again and be persistent like John Corliss?
Or will the leaves just settle after the storm and wait for someone else?
