The Boulder Church

[Tim]

Gathering is in Lafayette at the Hanes' home this Sat, July 24, 6pm-8pm.

We'll continue a discussion started last week on, "SPIRITUAL LESSONS
FROM TREES, part two."


Joyce Kilmer:
"I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree."


Jesus: "I am the vine, and you are the branches."


Psalm 1:
How blessed is the man who[se]...delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.


More tree stories to come...blessings,
