The Oak Tree
by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr

A
mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark Until the oak was tired and stark But still the oak tree held its ground While other trees fell all around The weary wind gave up and spoke. How can you still be standing Oak? The oak tree said, I know that you Can break each branch of mine in two Carry every leaf away Shake my limbs, and make me sway But I have roots stretched in the earth Growing stronger since my birth You'll never touch them, for you see They are the deepest part of me Until today, I wasn't sure Of just how much I could endure But now I've found, with thanks to you I'm stronger than I ever knew |

I read this poem today and it spoke to me about all our family has been through these past 2 years. We do have deep roots that make us strong no matter what we face. We must turn our face to the Light of the God and be drawn toward that Light.
our christan lives are a lot like that oak tree the longer we serve the deeper our faith grows like the roots of the oak. the harder it is tear us down.
We will only know our true strength when we are tried, by the adversities of life, and come out stronger because of them.
