A Tree, Planted by the Sanctuary

Read Psalm 1


If one sits on the left side of the aisle during church service,
one can see large tree branches beyond the beautiful stained glass window.

They might sway gently in a breeze,
remain stationary on a still day,
or blow gustily in a storm.

One can watch the changing of the seasons from Spring buds
to full leaf to bare lace against a Winter sky.

Nature becomes part of the service as one views the tree.

The full circle of life's experience
with the promise of continuity,
as it leafs anew each Spring.

"For every thing there is a season and a time for every matter under the Sun." Ecclesiastes 3


Sarah Frakes
