 Fall - an amazing season of renewal and regrowth...the leaves change color and reveal the beauty of God's paintbrush and the leaves fall to remind that a season of rest is before us... God is always on time and on point writing us into His beautiful story giving us visual reminders of His purpose and plan for us |  The dogwood was chosen as the timber for the cross. To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the tree, & Jesus nailed upon it, sensed this.
In His gentle pity for all sorrow & suffering Jesus said to the tree:
"Because of your regret and pity for My suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross. Its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross. See the nail prints, brown & stained with red, in the center a crown of thorns. Let all remember." |  What do you see? Do you see a barren tree in the silence of Winter? What if this tree is a reminder that in seasons of anonymity our Father is pouring into us preparing us for the beauty of our spring reveal to come? |
