Moody Trees

Today is a restless and moody day.

Maybe it is because of the weather, as it is overcast and windy. The wind is moaning around my windows and making the trees move uneasily, as if troubled by sad thoughts.

Maybe they are wondering why they should go through the effort of growing leaves now that spring is here. Maybe wondering who would care.

Nobody seems to pay any attention to them.

Then they think that maybe the change would be good. Something to brighten things up a little.

But then wonder if it is really worth the effort.

It just takes so much energy just to stand.

I wonder if it brightens up their day when a little bird lands on their branches. It probably makes them feel less isolated and gives them the feeling of being useful.

What they really should do is reach out instead of just passively standing there, waiting to see what life will throw at them next.

I am really excited to go visit my sister this weekend. A youth weekend with my friends and amazing bible studies are just what I need right now!

Who else besides Ways of Zion is effected by the weather?
