Big Evergreen Tree
Published by John Ketchersid on Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 8:10 AMHere is a picture of the big evergreen tree at Linda Spurlock Park.
It looks like it might be too wet and cool to meet at the park this Sunday. So, the backup plan is to meet at our house. But doesn't this tree look inviting?!
God Bless!

The "new" needles God is producing at the growing tip of that evergreen tree are not exactly "new", for there are billions of needles even now appearing on millions of evergreens in the world. But they are very new for that place and for that tree. And they are new in the sense that nowhere else in the world is there a tree with exactly the same genetic background....one could not find anywhere evergreen needles sporting exactly the same heritage as those "new" needles. God, in a very real sense, is doing something brand new and unique in the growth of every tree.
So it is, I think, with communities of God's people. Communities of Jesus Christ will resemble each other in many ways....and there are elements of faith in Jesus that have been the same for every Christian that has lived the last 2,000 years. But, at the same time, every community of Jesus is completely "new" in the sense that nowhere else would one find the same gifts, personalities, heritage of faith, etc...
AND......with each life God touches- He creates something in a heart that has never been seen before and will never be seen again anywhere else or at any other place in time.
