I want to scatter seeds, bear fruit and bring glory & honor to his name. <br />In the end, I wanna be like the tree. I want to leave with a song on my lips and a heart with a burning desire to please God.<br /><br />Thanks faning the flames Lynn!<br />~~Melinda~~~~Melinda Y.~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07670855166622764359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-32441636586045467252009-08-24T13:34:03.258-04:002009-08-24T13:34:03.258-04:00Lynn,

I love trees and mourned the loss of so many when Katrina tore through our area.<br /><br />But what I love even more are the poignant questions you bring to light through your post, questions we must all ask ourselves. If we read the Word, we know we will find ourselves in the firey furnace of affliction at one time or another. What kind of song will we sing? What kind of life have we led? What kind of legacy will we leave?<br /><br />Wow!

There weren't too many opportunities to share my personal witness, but, praise God, I know that the Word won't come back void, that it'll have its effect. You know, I may be an "old tree," but, praise God, I'm still scattering "seed." Anyone can do it, even in old age. I know. You see, I turn 65 tomorrow, which might explain why I feel the urgency to witness more.Maureen R.

What a poignant tribute to yo...Good morning, Lynn,<br /><br />What a poignant tribute to your oak tree! <br /><br />A verse in the Psalms commands, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." Your oak tree did that by living the life God gave it to the fullest. It was a life well-lived in service.<br /> <br />When you burned the logs in your fireplace, the seasons for that tree were almost finished. It had one last service to perform. God used the memories of its life to inspire you to write this blog. May the questions provoked by the memory of this oak tree's life lead us to live lives of loving obedience before our God in the remaining seasons of our life.<br /><br />Be blessed!<br /><br />LynndaLynnda - Passionate for the Glory of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11203946226967321615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-38863607489399210622009-08-22T05:33:46.555-04:002009-08-22T05:33:46.555-04:00Thanls Lynn, well written, as always.

Spreading the word like our branches allowing the word to take root and grow and be rooted firmly in Jesus Christ.<br /><br />I feel a little like the tree, as life moves on, we gradually age and fade away - but leaving seedlings of new life to follow us.<br /><br />For us the promise is a new beginning with the Lord in all of his glory, gazing in awe and wonder on the beauty, which we cannot imagine.<br /><br />Keep posting your wonderful stuff, which gives food for thought and prayer for us all.Ernesthttp://www.i-church.orgnoreply@blogger.com
