Trees are wonderful. They shade, they cool, they are beautiful. They speak of unchanging things, and give a small glimpse into eternity, where the things of Jesus do not change. They speak of strength and resilience. Here are some of my favorite trees that I have come across. Slainte, Lisa
“Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths,
where the good way is, and walk in it;
Then you will find rest for your souls,”
Thus says the Lord. ~Isaiah 6:16
If I was a bird, I’d fly to the sea
I’d let my wings hover dangerously close to the water
The beach breezes would carry me effortlessly, no flapping required
I’d fly and fly and fly
When night came, I’d nestle down beside a cool sand dune and rest,
Knowing that tomorrow, I’d do it again.

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” ~Isaiah 40:31
Sometimes, in the journey through life, we have to coast down the hill for a while, in order to gain the strength to climb again. When the steps are too painful, we rest, we roll down an easier way, we breathe. And pray for the strength, the determination, the faith that things will turn around. God is good; He never changes; He never leaves. And He will blow His mighty wind beneath my wings as I rest until I can fly again. Slainte, Lisa
Not quite ready for his close-up, this bird of the Bahamas. But beautiful just the same.
