Prayer Tree

Today at church we had our normal children’s slot down the front which started off talking about trees, roots and fertilizer. And the person doing the talk made the standard sorts of links about feeding the plant and having good roots. He was doing this with a Rewarewa seedling he had and the kids were all paying really close attention.

Then he said that he had a seedling like this planted in his garden and it was his “prayer tree”. Every time he saw it it reminded him to pray and remember God. And then he said he had a seedling there today for any child who wanted one to plant in their garden. So we have one, and it’s planted in a pot until it gets a bit bigger. We’ll water it, feed it and it’ll be there, by the car port, reminding us of God as we leave each day. Excellent.
