Do you ever look at ordinary things around you, (like trees), and ponder on how amazing they are? Pretty crazy all that they can do, huh! Once you go there, it’s hard to NOT be amazed at God’s ordinary creations all around us. Yes, even trees. They’re easily taken for granted, but what miracles they really are.
Oh, what a miracle is this tree –
With a humble blossom and a honeybee –
It works so hard and fills a need
Then helps even more with its tiny seeds.
It provides a shady place of rest.
A safe place for birds to build a nest.
It bears the heat. Soaks in the rain.
And never once does it complain
But humbly serves some more,
While those around it soar.
It never wavers, never doubts.
Never complains and never shouts.
But always knows the Lord above
Will bless it with what it needs of.
If only I could be so strong
And serve as much my whole life long.
Be a source of as much delight.
Not give in to fear or fright.
But bless the lives of those with me
As much or more, as this tree.
