sharing ponderings with other greening trees
Welcome!
Hello, fellow immortal soul! I'm glad you stopped by! You are a wonderful creation of God. (I'm sure you're told that constantly!) I hope we can chat sometime. I can learn a lot from you. Perhaps you can learn from me. Let's keep learning, eh? Our glowing and groaning times can all be growing times. I'm for having green leaves, whether there is rain or drought. How about you?
Blessed are we
...who trust in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For we shall be as trees planted by the waters. Even when heat comes, our leaves shall be green. We need have no worry in the year of drought, nor will we cease from yielding fruit. (my humble editing of Jeremiah 17:7,8)
