Never had a tree touched my heart.
Acorns, bark, leaves to rake.
It was so ordinary, almost invisible.
Lent’s reminder of my Savior’s love – His blood.
Somehow the tree isn’t just a tree anymore.

Community
March 27, 2015The birds sing sweetly
while nearby dogs are barking.
Neither seem threatened . .

Fine feathered wisdom . . .
showing such abundant grace
I must learn their song!
