Tonight, just a few minutes ago, an 80 foot Monterrey pine tree across the street suddenly died and fell. For the past year we have enjoyed the murder of crows that roost there along with four nests of herons. The original property owner planted it in 1869. It was majestic. And now it’s not.
There is much in our lives to be appreciated, way too much in fact. We have to take some things for granted or no one could function.
The mistake is to differentiate between what’s important, and what’s not. Some folks solve that mystery by taking everything for granted. All of us miss order our priorities sometimes. The sudden death of a 150 year old tree may help bring order back to chaos.
Who or what are you taking for granted today? What will you do about it? Better act. Even 150 year old trees die.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
