This year I went back to having my "odd" Christmas trees. For years, I took a branch off a tree (be it a Cedar, Cottonwood, or a tumble weed) and made it a tree. About 10 years ago, my mom bought us an artificial tree. But this year, I went back to doing my old strange things. This is a branch off a huge Pine tree in our yard (which needs trimming anyway).
I struggle every year in why we do what we do as traditions. Though a Christmas tree is pretty to look at, there's another tree that truly brings us life. It's the one at the end of Jesus' life. And as this Christmas tree is an evergreen, the other tree brings us everlasting life.
Have a very Jesus filled CHRISTmas!
May you find room in your heart for Him, and be at home forever with Jesus!!
That is as AWESOME wild tree!!!! Wild trees have always been my fave!
