The Trees of the Fields........

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. Isaiah 55:11-12

     I have always enjoyed God's Creation since I was old enough to speak. I grew up on a large wildlife plantation surrounded by 19,000 acres of wilderness. I can see God in everything from the trees blowing in the wind to the soft sounds of a babbling brook to a birds beautiful song. I have chosen the trail name of Gentle Fir because this is a combination of a pet name my dear husband has given me and the Fir tree is a symbol in Gods word. I could be called a tree hugger but I would like to be seen as a creation lover and a lover of the Creator.
    
     The bible to me is much easier to understand, if you take the time to stop and enjoy HIS creation. God uses his creation throughout his word to help us. In this passage I love how it says the trees of the fields shall clap their hands. I feel that the birds sing praises to God, as we should lift up our voices , to Praise Him as well. He tells us not to worry about food or drink or raiment because even nature is taken care of. This is very powerful to me.
So I encourage everyone to take time to take a walk in Gods Creation and learn of the Creator. Stop and listen to the forest and what they may have to say.



Happy Hiking,

Gentle Fir

God Bless You
