Among the Trees

Alone with myself, the trees bend to caress me.
The shade hugs my heart.

I took a little time for a personal retreat on Friday at this newly discovered nature preserve

not too far from my home...beautifully quiet and peaceful.

I really liked the quote I found (above) but the only thing I would change is the part that says

alone with myself...I wasn't alone...not alone at all.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

 "And the LORD God made all kinds of tree grow out of the ground—
trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food." 
Genesis 2:9

"TREE"

~Justin Rizzo

Unmovable, unshakable; 
let my roots go down deep
Unmovable, unshakable 
In You
~
I want to be like a tree
Planted by the streams
Of living water
This will be my song God
This will be my prayer

Until the end, until the end.



A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15:4

"He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. 
It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. 
It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Jeremiah 17:8



 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 
Psalm 42:1



"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken."
Psalm 62:1-2 



May you have a restful Lord's Day and a wonderful week ahead!
