I love trees! They are one of my favorite things! I think that they are especially beautiful when covered with snow. We have surely seen a lot of that this winter! Even though I am anxious for spring, I will miss the beauty of all of the snow covered branches. I really have enjoyed all the snow this winter. Snowflakes are amazing in themselves - they show the wonderful creativity of God!
Some of my favorite Bible passages are about trees. One of the first sections that I ever memorized was Psalm 1. I remember memorizing that chapter when I was only about eight years old during Wednesday Bible group for the children at our church. I memorized it in the KJV, but I like it better in some of the newer versions.
Psalm 1 (NLT) "Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. But not the wicked! They are like chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly. For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction."
