“A fig tree in Kenya that is massive, with a perimeter of 10-15 meters. It’s at my uncle’s home. When we were small we used to join hands—10 kids to go round the tree. Now to do the same you need 30 kids; what’s more the tree is still growing! The tree is just a marvelous wonder of God.”

I love the picture. And more so because I love trees. They are the most serene of all beings, so comfortable with being themselves. Lovely picture. I wish I could meet that tree…maybe one day…..
I’m sure seeing it in person would be quite impressive, Joyce.
Unbelievable. And…what a great tree for kids to play in!
Yes, Bob, and I love the idea of 30 children holding hands around it to celebrate as a group.
I too; am a tree lover. It is a fabulous picture. Thanks.
Thank you for starting your week with us here, Kathryn.
I get the sensation that this is how it is when God says that he holds us in the palm of his hands, for this picture of the tree really looks like it is his hand! No one is so small to be insignificant to him.
It does look like it could be a giant hand, Dolly. I didn’t see that until you pointed it out. Thank you.
Thank you, Denise. This is the beauty of it all that we can appreciate, marvel at, and be one with God’s creation through the eyes of each one of us. Isn’t that awesome? Blessings….
