Every Friday morning the men in our family gather together for a time of accountability. It is a time where we strengthen our relationships with each other and with the Lord. This past Friday, Dad decided to spend our morning in Washington D.C. so we could take pictures of the cherry blossoms. Every year around this time, thousands of people come to D.C. to see the beautiful trees. It was quite a sight!

Thinking back on that morning as we walked up and down the sidewalks looking at millions of beautiful blossoms coming from old, gnarly trees, I am reminded of the Chistian walk. Each one of us, who have been grafted into the tree of the Lord have the ability to produce great beauty by the warming grace of God upon our life. He gives the grace, we blossom and do His will, and many are awed by the beauty of Christ working through simple, sometimes gnarly old twigs. Just think, if there were hundreds and even millions of people committed to living by God’s grace. There would be a huge impact on the world with blossoms everywhere drawing people to glorify our One and only, Jesus Christ.
