I have decided that mountain living is the greatest! Why? It's never boring. If you don't have anything to do nature will keep your entertained. Sometimes it seems we experience all four seasons in the span of a week. Cool, warm, cold, snowy! Let's don't forget to add Mr. Wind into the experience. The hair lifting kind! That wind eventually births twigs! Yep, they become separate from their start.
For the past few weeks every time I'm outside I'm either stepping on twigs or moving twigs so they don't get caught underneath my car.
All those twigs got me to thinking about the useful purposes of twigs. My great grandmother used a birch twig to make a brush. I have to be honest I'm not exactly sure if that brush was for brushing her teeth or moving the snuff around in her mouth. I just know all the ole' timers that dipped snuff had one. Shew!
Twigs can also be used to graft. The definition for graft...a shoot or twig inserted into a slit on the trunk or stem of a living plant, from which it receives sap.
Grafting is a positive to achieve something better. As a Christian I am thankful that we can be grafted into the body of Christ. Once grafted I'm a joint-heir with Christ! He came that we might have life and have life more abundantly. I can't think of anything better! Next time you see a twig remember Christ offers this graft to ALL.
Twigs! Grafts! Life! = Eternal life!
Romans 11:19 KJV
"Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
"And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again."
