The Tree of Life
Welcome to Real Life . Trees inspire me. They stand so bold and tall with branches lifted high in worship. Lately, I’ve been thinking about the Tree of Life .

The fresh air I must breathe is produced by trees. Protection from the scorching sun and driving rain is found under the branches of a tree. I am housed in a tree (my home is constructed with wood). I sit on a tree (wooden chair). I eat on a tree (wooden table). I work on a tree (wooden desk). I write on a tree (paper). I cry into a tree (tissue).
