Free Trees Please
I think Dr. Seuss should've written that book.

Love
Trees.
They are so right on about everything.
- Branches always lifted high. They give praise to their Maker at all times, no matter their circumstances.
- They give shade; protection; support; food; paper; warmth. They give up everything for others.
- They always reach out to their neighbors.
- So much variety, and they're not at all embarrassed about it.
- They are tall. Way taller than I am. They just keep up reaching up and up and up.
- Trees do what they're supposed to ... in season, out of season.
- So beautiful. I think the root word of beauty is TREE. (Sorry, I know that's a dumb thing to say. What?! I'm in love, man.)
- They have roots, and they will sink them as deeply as they're allowed. I wish I could even be comfortable with that.
So I put them all over my walls.
I plan my vacations around them. When I was littler, I climbed them. And yes, sometimes I hung upside down from them by my skorts.
Hope to be like a tree when I grow up:
Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;2but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

3He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
