In Northern California I camped at Prairie Creek Campgrounds.
There are lots of giant redwoods at the park… and it’s a wonderful place.
At the campfire talks rangers spoke about the redwoods.
Redwood trees have shallow roots,
and the area is prone to high winds and earthquakes.
So how do they grow so tall… to be thousands of years… without falling down?
The ranger said, “They have interlocking roots, they all work together to help one another… even the small trees have large roots around them to hold them in place.”
And that’s what we need… community.
If the winds of life try to knock us down, community holds us up… making life better.
Like the redwoods we need a loving community of people around us.
Thus we have God around us… and all will be well.
