Day 3 of the January Photo a Day Challenge: Something you adore.
My Family Tree
I love how perfectly this picture captures our family. Total chaos. Everyone on top of each other. In each other’s faces. No personal space. Kids everywhere, or so it seems sometimes.
And there’s Nate. He is the core, the heart, the trunk of our family tree. Our three children the off-shoots, our branches, who daily grow stronger, bigger, and stretch farther. Still connected to the Trunk, who is planted firm and who’s roots go deep, they reach and search for more of the sun—The Son—to nourish and feed them. And the more our three little branches stretch for The Son, the deeper the roots of the Trunk must go.
Blessed is the man
whose delight is in the Lord
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in season.
Its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
—Psalm 1
Feeling prosperous today, my friends. Hope you do too.
