THE STARTING OF A TREE(MAN)

SATURDAY! Welcome to another of His days, the gift of life, to millions, upon millions,, and always life is given with love,,,,for it is usually and meant to be conceived with love, for that is when life begins... so cherish it as all of His gifts are to be cherish, right up to a sip of clean cool water, for water is a must for life! So let's just start this day off with this "God is Good, God is PURE LOVE",, and there is no greater love than HIS! Prayer Request: For a really good friend, Amelia... that on Monday will be having surgery,, and I ask all to pray for this to be successful, and that God will be the guiding hand of these surgeons as they take care of this wonderful girl(I can still call her girl for to me she is still that little girl)... thank you all for these continued prayers from now through the surgery and then beyond! Continue prayer for the family of Gladys Hicks, as they go through her passing, from here to God! THE STARTING OF A TREE! Well today, this may be short, but it is to the point! We drive around and we see these large trees,, tall and reaching towards the Heavens! some are taller than others, some are trim and thin, others are short, fat, and then there is the one that is tall, fat, and holding tons of limbs and branches,, but all in all ,, they are "wood"! Made by God, raised by God's glory, from God's dirt, God's water,, and God's sunshine,, and then His moonlight as they rest through the night waiting on that energy giving sunlight to come up,, and let them live more, and get taller to His delight! They , as they grow,,give out oxygen to all of us, for without them, we would be no more...and also without us to give back our exhaled breath, they would not exist! Is God not so "genius"? Wow, I wish at times we would be like that tree,, as the seed falls into the weathered leaves of the forest.. then starts to sprout and reproduce into it's own DNA! It slips back up through those leaves of food for this to happen.. sees that sunshine, which looks like it is miles high to just the top of the "Mother " tree, that sprung this little shrub... but it smiles, and feels that growing warmth of those rays, from God, so it keeps right on growing, and even as man or animal may step on it, it bends , but does not break,, but rather looks up at that ray of sunshine, and again straightens itself,, and up, and up and in years ,,, it becomes a tree!!! Ready to drop it little seed, and shed the leaves of love for it to sprout and do the same all over again,, and never break that tie with the "Sunshine From God Almighty, It's Maker And Keeper"! So as this story has a start and an end this day,, why is my question? WHY DOES MAN NOT BE LIKE A TREE, AND NO MATTER HOW LOW HE STARTS, LOOK ALWAYS UP TO THAT RAY OF SUNSHINE, THAT RAY BEING GOD... AND GROW TOWARDS HIM , BENDING, BUT NOT BREAKING, GIVING THE LIFE OF BREATH TO THE TREE, AS IT GIVE BACK THE BREATH OF LIFE TO US.. BUT ALWAYS POINTING UP, TO HIM , AND LIVING AS A SYMBOL OF WHO WE ARE,,, AND WHO WE ARE FROM,, AND BEING THAT EXAMPLE TO ALL THE OTHER "TREES" IN THE FOREST TO COME , LOOK UP,, AND RECEIVE "THAT RAY OF LIFE",, AND GROW AND REACH TO HIM EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES? and be a tree,,straight, tall, and believing in that Ray, and that it will always be there for us? Lord, as these words go out, I pray for the real understanding of them as they were received within my mind, my heart and that I understand their meaning, I pray that all who reads them will also receive their meaning, and that You are the Start, the Middle, The Finish, amen John HIcks Have a great God's day, and stand tall and wave to all and show them! What? You decide, a servant of God,,,, or just another mass of lumber!
