The Willow Tree at Sunset

The willow is one of my favourite trees. It's the most flexible tree in nature. It will yield and bend and nearly touch the ground, and after the horrific wind, will stand upright and resume its place. That is the strength of the willow tree. So we should be - always accepting, adjusting, learning, and diligently moving back to the center, where growth in the ways of God lead.
