For this tree, the odds of surviving are against it, yet it hangs on. It has no limitations, it adapts & reaches upward into the sky.

If a tree can adapt, so can I.

What say you?

We have an oak tree that was nearly pushed out of the ground during a hurricane 30 years ago. It is 25 degrees off vertical. But then we and the Arborist looked closer, the tree would have certainly fallen if it had not impacted two other small trees on the downwind side. The oak is 18 inches in diameter, but these two little trees holding it up might be six inches wide. Now that is what I call support... all are healthy! And it is what each and every one of us hopes for!

I agree. Like the Joshua tree out west. Like the hummingbird. Like the flower growing between 2 rocks. My hubby says, “if we get the consent of our mind, it’s amazing what we can do.” So, yes, we limit ourselves, or allow doctors and others to limit us.” “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
