The Beautiful Heart Of Joshua Judah pt2
As Joshua Judah carried that frail and fragile tree to his house, his mind changed about using a tree for Christmas. Instead, he planted his newly purchased tree in his front yard for all to see. He made sure in the trees placement that it would receive the right amount of light needed for its healing process. Joshua Judah then put a hedge of protection around the tree. Last of all, he put a banner of unconditional love over top of it. Joshua Judah invested all his time and resources to bring healing life into that frail and fragile tree.
He nourished the soil around it with nutrients. He daily gave that tree living water. In just a short period of time, his tree became strong, and its covering flourished. Its branches once sagging were now outstretched and completely covered with pine needles. It’s posture once hunched over was now straight and standing upright.
That trees sweet fragrance filled every inch of Joshua Judah’s front yard. Joshua Judah’s ministry of redemptive love and compassionate mercy completely restored that pine tree back to health.
I am a Tree, living historian of weather
record. Grandfather of colonial bridges
and homes. A giggle, you can hear us
when in the breeze apt to tease, fondly
tickle one another. Poetic: To Tree or not
to Tree? So content to be what we are --
man's utilitarian, your selfless furnisher
of shade and warmth. No matter Strong
Oak or mangy willow. What I answer to
is Proud Fellow, member of the Ever-wood.
