Hubby
loves globe willows, so four years ago, we purchased and planted one in our
yard. The sapling flourished, but it soon became evident that it had been
mislabeled and was, in fact, a weeping golden willow. Hubby grumbled a bit at
first, but he now he’s always commenting on how much the goldfinches and other
tiny songbirds like to perch in the tree.
Have
you been mislabeled? Is there a tag tied around your branches that says you’re
a scrub pine, but deep in your heart, you know that you’re a ponderosa? Maybe
everyone around you thinks you’re a mesquite, but you know you were born a
maple. Well, take advice from our weeping golden willow and your Creator: be
yourself, grow strong, and flourish!
“He will give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise
instead of despair. For the LORD has planted them like strong and graceful oaks
for his own glory.” –ISAIAH 61:3
