My Zaccheus Moment

Psalm 30:1

I will extol thee, oh Lord;
For thou hast lifted me up...

Okay, it's a Black Willow tree not a Sycamore and I'm sure I'm not as nimble as Zaccheus, but I miraculously managed to get up into this tree.  It's amazing how different things look that far off the ground (note the amazing heights I climbed too! lol). 
 
There have been times in life when I've had to pull myself up by sheer willpower.  But the view after the climb was so much better!  When a cloud of despair is keeping us enclosed in the negative, the only answer is to climb above it and look for Jesus.  He'll always have time to stop by our house a visit a while.  It's amazing how life can change after spending time with the master!

  1. I do believe I just saw a picture of a miracle! You climbed the tree WITHOUT breaking any bones!!! ;) And apparently, since you posted after the fact, you climbed out of it WITHOUT breaking any!! Where is that enormous tree, by the way?

  2. LOL I know! Wayne helped me or I probably would've broken something. He climbed it to. It is huge in the center where all the branches come together. It's in a picnic area at Woodcock Dam.
