So, did you ever have that special place you went to as a kid? Sometimes you would go there to be alone; other times you went there to relish a secret. It was that place that was yours. Well, I've got a special tree here. I know; it sounds quite funny. This is the first tree I noticed which had leaves changing. It's also right by the river. I've walked down to the tree several times now. God has used its beauty to remind me He is there. Just as He is changing the tree for this season, so He has a purpose for me for right now. Looking at "my tree" reminds me to not only look to the Lord but to trust Him in this new season. I am thankful for His reminder...even in a tree.

"My tree"

Jennifer,
I rejoice in the reminders our Lord Jesus sends our way each day - a brilliant tree, a rushing stream, deer grazing in a meadow, and the people we meet. I pray that this day, God will bless you with the opportunity to reach out to someone nearby.
I pray for you daily.
Love,
Mom
