Have you ever imagined trees as people I can’t quite see it myself but in psalm 1, it talks about a righteous man being a tree and in an Indian myth there were some unkind stepsisters who were turned into Aspen trees so you could hear their leaves Rustling each autumn. Although, Aspen trees are a beautiful golden yellow in the fall of the year; they do have a specific sound as well.
I recently visited my sister in California and we went to the Joshua tree State Park and the legend of the Joshua tree was when settlers were moving through, they thought the arms of the tree were pointing to the promised land, I kind of imagined it saying, “praise to the Lord for heaven above”
My dad‘s favorite tree was the Evergreen, Pine or Spruce trees because they always look green, alive and well. I guess if I could imagine people as trees or myself, I would want to be an Evergreen that gets refreshed by the snow on the branches and usually resides by a stream always looking spruced up with greenish blue color and sometimes used for Christmas
After the short days of winter, the longer days and sunshine brings hope to our hearts. The trees bud and spring flowers peak through the soil and we marvel in the hope we see in creation. This year we leap into March with so much hope and new possibilities. This March is full of spirit-filled celebrations.

| Christ has risen |
We remember the cross where He conquered it all was made from a tree.
There’s an Easter legend about the dogwood tree
Back when Jesus lived the dogwood tree was said to be very large like a great oak tree but since it was used as his crucifixion cross God gave the dogwood tree some attributes so it wouldn’t be used again for a crucifixion cross or even for building. The dogwood become a very little tree with crooked branches so it wouldn’t be good for building. Its pretty red bark reminds us of the blood He shed on the cross. Its pretty white blossom has four petals aligned like a cross and the tips of the petals are dented in with a touch of red to signify the nail holes. The little yellow center is to look like His crown of thorns. Next time you see a dogwood you can look closely for these attributes. Hope you have a happy Easter
