We went for a walk this morning at a nearby state park. (We had to go this morning because Adam didn't want to miss the Niners game. :) ) Anyway, the kiddos has fun running along the trail, dancing on giant tree stumps, taking plenty of photos and looking up at the enormous sequoia trees. At one point along the way, we came upon this, and it wordlessly (obviously, because you know, it's a tree and all) compelled me to take its picture:
In case it's not clear, the image shows a tiny new tree growing out of the stump of an old, fallen tree.
It's totally and hopelessly corny, but it's a metaphor for this life: we grow and change largely thanks to the efforts of those who have gone before us. The baby tree is sustained by the body of the older tree; the older gives of itself to help the little one grow.
Poetic, no? And definitely a God thing.
