While on the way to Florida to visit family, we drove the the Ocala National Forrest. If you don't know, the Ocala National Forrest is quite possibly the most boring place in the world. It was because of this boredom that I had time to make some observations. Whereas most forests stand primarily erect like soldiers ready for battle, all the trees in a Florida forest lean dramatically to one side. It took me a moment before I remembered how hurricane prone the state of the newly wed and the nearly dead was. These trees had been hit so hard every season that they held the shape of their past storms. How many of us have been with the storms of life so frequently we have forgotten to stand up again. We stand braced for pain and therefore can't receive the sunshine and blessings we could have had. It won't be long until those trees lean to far. They will fall someday.
The trees all lean together. We has a planet have been hurt. We as followers of Christ need to be the first to rise and stand tall again.
