Holiday tree?

     Well, they're not your typical Christmas trees, that's for sure!  I saw this idea and thought it was a cute one.  Of course the ones I saw were done by professionals and they looked a little more snazzy than my versions.  In my mind I look at my four little trees and think they come out of a Dr. Seuss book, or maybe Charlie Brown...!
     Even though the trees aren't lush, or decorated with beautiful ornaments I'm glad I put them up.  They serve as a reminder for me that Christmas is indeed here.  That these twigs that are lifeless in the winter bring forth new life in the Spring, and in the Summer show their beauty in maturity.  Just as Christ in me grows me to newer and deeper spiritual maturity every season.  
     And it all starts with the Savior born in Bethlehem!
