Rebirth

I have always liked this old gray stump at the end our road. It has sat there for over twenty years greeting me each time I come home. Recently meaning sometime in the last five years or so a young fir tree has struggled up into the sky next to it. The young fir has had to fight for light and moisture from the surrounding trees. Today I noticed the prominent new growth on it from the recent rains. It proudly stood out in the rainy weather we had today. Standing there as symbol of rebirth next to the old gray stump a promise of new life. There are a lot of parallels to my relationship with Christ here for in him I have been reborn. God's love and blessings to all, chris
