Apple Trees

Today a Hillside friend named Jay had his graduation party, and hosted Matt Spink's birthday party. The parties were held on a beautiful farm land. I felt like Anne Shirley when she first laid her eyes on Green Gables.
I was sitting by the pool when I noticed three trees. One of the owners of the house, Jay's mom, was sitting next to me. I wanted to know what type of trees they were. She told me they were apple trees. I couldn't resist! I walked to them, and sat under their shade.

"Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my taste."
Song of Solomon 2:3

I can't explain the peace and love that wrapped around me as I sat under those apple trees. Emptiness and loneliness fled. I felt secure, safe, and cherished. My God is romantic and He is my everything! There is no one like Him. No one can compare!

Happy Graduation Jay! Happy Birthday Matt!
