A Lightning Split Tree
In the pasture at the front of our home there’s a tall, old evergreen tree standing which long ago had been hit by lightning literally splitting it in half. Rather than die, it held on and grew to a towering height – but in two halves.
It’s an amazing sight and an even more amazing lesson I see every day.
When something devastating happens, you can die, or you can hold on, rise from the ashes and grow. You may be significantly changed from the way you thought you were meant to be, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still flourish and reach for the sky.
Excellent site. A lot of helpful information here. I am sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious. And certainly, thank you on your effort!
