He is like a tree planted by streams of water
that yields fruit in its season,and its leaf does
not wither. In all that he does,he prospers.
Psalm 1:3

I have been thinking about this over the past couple of days. It is winter here in Italy and all of
the trees are bare. After reading and pondering
over this psalm, I began too look at the trees and think.... What does my tree look like? Am I planted by a stream of water receiving my nourishment from Christ and His word or am I planted on some other ground. Do I have fruit on my tree, can my students see this in my life and they way I interact with others? Again I am reminded
of the the constant need I have for Gods grace in my life daily. As I continue to think
about this psalm I pray that my tree will always be planted in Christ and that I will continue to
grow and bare fruit for His glory....keeping my eyes on Him.

In all that he does, he prospers
