In the meantime, the tree just does what a tree is meant to do. It soaks up every bit of sun and rain it can get. It grows in an unforced way. Growth is simply natural. If there is good soil, and the climate is right, fruit will come.
The implication is that we need to just BE. Just allow God to do His thing. Just continue doing what Christians and pastors are supposed to do.
Simple, but reassuring.

That's good stuff!
I always find that when I make things too complicated He always brings me back with something so simple like that... He's so huge and intricately detailed... His ways cannot be understood by our simple human minds, yet He deals with us in the simplest ways... What a great God!!!
I forgot to ask in my last post about the nature of your wife's sickness. If you are at liberty to share, do tell.
