Raising the Canopy

During the last two days of 2021, we had workman all over our yard trimming trees and getting rid of overgrowth. It was a mess. Large branches of the trees littered our yard. After hours of sawing and noise, these branches and limbs were fed into grinders. However, when the workers were through, the yard looked great. The tree line was higher. During the day our yard got the light and during night we could see the stars.

The owner of the tree business and I were talking, and we both agreed that 2021 had been a tough year and it was time for 2021 to “get out of town.”

Many of you feel like we did about 2021. My prayer for you in 2022 is that the pain of 2021 be like “raising the canopy.” Regardless of the seriousness of your pain, may God grant that you not be destroyed by it. Instead, may it be like pruning a bush or raising the canopy. In 2022, may you see the Light of Christ more clearly and may you see the stars instead of the overgrowth which can block the view of heaven.

May your 2022, be blessed!
