So all of this snow falls that I don’t believe in which covers our farm and the power goes out, but we find a higher power source. Well, something else happened also that inspired me to listen to life some more.

We have two 35-40 foot tall maple trees in our backyard. They appeared healthy enough and had actually begun to sprout, letting us know spring was coming.

The snow that fell was a heavy, wet snow that clung to the maple trees’ branches. They couldn’t stand the additional weight on their branches. One tree fared okay, just losing two really large branches. The other maple, however, split virtually all the way down its trunk.

I looked inside of the tree which is now exposed and discovered that a blight has weakened the tree and some bugs had moved into the blighted part. The tree looked healthy, but the pressure of the snow’s weight revealed it wasn’t.

The pressure of life’s weight is heavy on most of us these days. How are you inside, in your spirit? Blighted and bugged? Or, blessed and unbreakable?
