Planting trees…3…
Last summer, my neighbor’s one yard tree died…one week it was flourishing, the next week the leaves shriveled and died…and it didn’t lose its leaves, they looked petrified on the tree…he kept tending it, hoping it would “releaf”, but no…so finally this week , he cut it off, dug out the roots, dug a perfect big hole readied for a new tree…
The new tree arrived yesterday and after much pushing, shoving, pulling it was in place, perfectly…
This whole episode reminded me of the fig tree and Jesus…
Prayer and forgiveness….unforgiveness can wither us away…one take away from the following verses…
Thank YOU….
On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
Mark.11.12-14,20-25
A heart that forgives…
