JOURNAL/ROOTED IN GOD




“HE is like a tree
Planted near running water
That yield its FRUIT indue season
And whose leaves NEVER FADE” Psalm 1:3


As children-our family often got a pine tree or Scotch pine tree for Christmas-To the ancient people-the
pine tree symbolized HOPE and resilience-and it had ability to ENDURE with GRACE-when everything else around was devoid of life-WE would always leave our Christmas tree up until after my January 19^th birthday


Today is the feast day of Saint Theresa of Avila-a 16^th century Saint who wrote: “LET NOTHING DISTURB YOU,” among her works-In her everyday living she was DEEPLY ROOTED in the WORD OF GOD-and a woman of DEEP PRAYER in love with the DIVINE-and her life gave WITNESS to a LIFE deeply rooted in God




IT is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day to be deeply rooted in the WORD OF GOD
