A Love Song
Shhh.
Take a listen.
Hear the trees sway?
They seem to sing, don’t they?
A love song only to you.
Trees
Tall and mighty.
Straight or crooked.
Leaves green and bright.
Opening their branches, following the light.
Roots, steady and strong.
Our trees are magnificent –
to hear, to see, to feel.
Listen to what they sing.
The wind.
Moving through their branches.
Whisper a melody.
A song of joy.
A hymn of praise.
Cast Away Fears
A reminder that even in stillness, there is movement.
Even in rootedness, there is growth.
And as we rest beneath its shade, we are held by its mighty arms.
There, we can cast our fears upon its trunk as we lie in its comfort, embraced by its strength.
Thanks be to God.
Action
Stand near or lean against a tree. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Imagine yourself firmly rooted in God’s strength, drawing up peace like water through your roots.
Listen—what song does the tree sing to you?
Reflective Question
What part of my life needs deeper roots in faith, trust, or love?
