Reaching the Heavens



This is my third day in this photo-a-day endeavor. Taken at 4:19 in the afternoon. Seems like a dying tree using its branches going upwards to pray and appeal for mercy. As i reflect on this photo, I can relate with so many hardships that has befallen to many of us. When hit by a trial, or a life-changing tragedy, all seems lost and our faith seems to fail. When confronted by an overwhelming problem, we exhaust all means to appeal to the heavens.
The tree is not actually dead but is a shrub cleared by the gardener to allow new leaves to spring fort and take a new appearance. In a few more days, it will be again teeming with fresh new leaves to beautify the Chapel grounds. Just like our ordeals, God has allowed such things to happen, to mold us and later give us a new beginning if we just BELIEVE.
