Trees
Many of us who grew up in the Appalachian mountains remember structures such as houses built to almost defy gravity. Houses built on the side of a mountain on poles such that you could walk halfway under the house before reaching up to touch the floor!
Many church buildings were similar. The building where I attended as a young boy was on the side of a mountain. You went up a steep set of steps made with old railroad ties, through Maynard’s Cemetery, then up several more concrete steps and into the small church building. A few small rooms had been dug out under it to serve as classrooms. Talk about dedicated Christians! Just getting the building materials up there to build the structure was quite a task.
Up on that hill were many beautiful trees around the building. Several of them were Catalpa trees; fast-growing deciduous trees famous for their massive heart-shaped leaves, showy clusters of orchid-like white flowers, and long, bean-like seed pods that earned them the nickname "cigar trees", because you could actually attempt to smoke them. But I’m not writing about what we young boys did with the “cigars” on those trees, but instead what a blessing those trees would be on a hot day.
On a hot summer afternoon, the shade of those trees brought welcome relief. Before and after Sunday services, they offered a great refuge from the summer heat in that non air-conditioned church building! I thank God for trees for a lot of reasons, but mainly they provide a refuge for weary hearts.
Life’s burdens can leave us exhausted, but His presence refreshes our souls. Instead of running from God during difficult times, run to Him. Use Him as your “tree”!
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1).
There is no safer place than under His care. Psalms 1:3 tells us that. Are you taking advantage of the protection God provides?~ jme
