People and Trees

People are like trees. Some grow straight up and branch in all directions. Still there are others whose branches are knotted within themselves like a Bonzai tree but well manicured on the surface. And then there are those whose branches move with the wind while their leaves blow with the breeze drooping to the ground.



I wonder, what kind of tree am I?

Birds - an observation

Birds sing even in the rain. Life is much like the weather. While you generally know what season you're in, you cannot fully predict nor attempt to control the ever-changing weather. While yesterday brought sunshine and warmth, this morning brought with it clouds and rain. Rain that will nourish the soil and cause things to grow. Lord I do hope that the rainy days in my life have the same affect. That they nourish the soil within me causing life to spring forth.


And still I notice this One constant...the birds still sing. Whether or not the sun is shining. Whether they are wet or dry, cold or hot. Lord may I sing as they do, in rain or shine.
