This is, of course, an old tree stump. It's well-worn by the elements, and like all trees, it shows its age via a succession of concentric rings.
It also shows, in visible fashion, how life goes on over the years, even when times are tough. The rings may be larger or smaller depending on the weather and available water supply, but the tree continues growing regardless of the conditions it had to withstand.
I think people have 'rings', too. And like all living things, God gives us the strength we need to not only weather, but to grow and thrive, during our most painfully draining experiences.
