Shade Tree Wisdom 10/1/11

          Hello, October, where we’ll see crisp and sunny fall days, cool nights, bright moonlight, some light rains, leaves to rake and mulch, colors to enjoy, apples to pick and fresh apple cider to drink.

          The work of the Church goes into high gear with Zone rallys and plans to make and the future bright with anticipated work and God’s continual blessing.

          Here at our home we have been seeing the effects of that year-long drought.  We have lost trees, several nearly 100 feet tall and the trunk measures 36 inches in diameter.  But for a day we were running what amounted to a wood lot.  The trees cut, and result hauled away to be mulched and sold perhaps as firewood.  Sad to see this, but it looks around us as if many trees died because of the drought, and the cleanup will take a long time, and cost much money.  But, if you look closely at the forest floor, you’ll see young seedlings starting their own growing, and so the Lord does replace what drought, or fire, for that matter, takes away.

          For Scripture is correct when it says,
     “The heavens declare the glory of God,
     And the firmament showeth His handiwork.
     Day unto day uttereth speech, and
     Night unto night showeth knowledge.”
