The Trees Bowed Down


Our trees bowed down.

The city experienced one its strongest typhoons recently. Typhoon Glenda came in at 140 kilometers per hour and swept through the place in a few hours.  


Our mango tree was uprooted. It was supposed to be the shade to the herb garden we're putting together. I didn't care much about the herbs that haven't been planted, but it was truly heartbreaking to see an old tree toppled.


The banana trees bent down as well, a lot of them. They have seeds inside and sooner or later, we had planned to uproot them anyways. So there wasn't much of a heart-tugging there. 


Still, seeing them in a uniform bow reminded me of one beautiful thing. That God, the maker of all heaven and earth, is great and majestic and worthy to be worshiped, even amidst the storm.

                                        

"Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker." Psalm 95:6
