Northern Catalpa

Here is a driveway to a house that is lined with Catalpa trees.

One of the ways to identify this tree is by the cigar like seed pods hanging from the tree. The leaf is large heart shaped. 

I like seeing these trees. The heart shaped leaf reminds me of the love God has given to the world by His Son Jesus. It is love that brings change not war. War will force change but not in peoples hearts. Love will change people's hearts. And this will change them and others around them.

Another aspect of this tree is the firewood is easy to split. When we have love our disposition is easy to get along with.

I don't want to be a person that goes along to get along, which perpetuates wrong living. Instead, I want to be a light to those in darkness. Thank you Jesus for Your guidance.
