"When God wants to grow a squash, he grows it in one summer, but when he wants to grow an oak He takes a century."
I’m not sure who said that. Maybe James A. Garfield? Doesn’t really matter, I suppose.
Old trees fascinate me. If they could talk, they would probably tell of difficult times and storms they thought would take them down, but, alas, they still stand.
They would probably tell us that those storms actually made them much stronger and helped them become what they are: beautiful, useful works of God that bless creation.
I think it works like that for all of us.
Stand strong in the storm and be a blessing!
