Trees were protected by Law in Medieval Ireland

Wisdom As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace.

Enoch 28:2 There I beheld trees of judgement, particularly furniture of the sweet smell of frankincense and myrrh; and trees unlike to each other.

Olive Tree

Many of the trees in the garden are hundreds of years old, but there are some that experts believe could have been standing during the time of Christ Himself.

@NancyDrewberry , Thank-you.
WOW, inspiring, only if everyone done that!

It tells the story of one shepherd's long and successful singlehanded effort to re-forest a desolate valley in the foothills of the Alps in Provence throughout the first half of the 20th century.

The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:2

February 10 - The Life-Line

I am your Savior, your Savior from sins’ thralls, your Savior from all the cares and troubles of life, your Savior from disease.

I speak in all to you both. Look to Me for salvation. Trust in Me for help. Did not My servant of old say, “All Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me?” But not all the waters of affliction could drown him. For of him was it true, “He came from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.”

The life-line, the line of rescue, is the line from the soul to God, faith, and power. It is a strong line, and no soul can be overwhelmed who is linked to Me by it. Trust, trust, trust. Never be afraid.

Think of My trees stripped of their beauty, pruned, cut, disfigured, bare, but through the dark seemingly dead branches flows silently, secretly, the spirit-life-sap, till, lo! with the sun of Spring comes new life, leaves, bud, blossom, fruit, but oh! fruit a thousand times better for the pruning.

Remember that you are in the hands of the Master-Gardener. He makes no mistakes about His pruning. Rejoice. Joy is the Spirit’s reaching out to say its thanks to Me. It is the new life-sap of the tree, reaching out to Me to find such beautiful expression later. So never cease to joy. Rejoice.

ANCIENT LIVING ROOT BRIDGES

Root bridges are a simple type of suspension bridge, formed by guiding living plant roots of a rubber fig tree, also known as a FISCUS ELASTICA across a stream or river, and then allowing the roots to grow and strengthen over time until they can hold the weight of a human being. The young roots are sometimes tied or twisted together, and are often encouraged to combine with one another via the process of inosculation. As the Ficus elastica tree is well suited to anchoring itself to steep slopes and rocky surfaces, it is not difficult to encourage its roots to take hold on the opposite sides of river banks.

Introduction is as follows:

My favorite Dr. Seuss book is The Lorax, and I will be continuing his sermon today. If you don't
know, the Lorax was a cute fuzzy little guy with a walrus mustache who popped out of a stump and
spoke for the trees in 1971. You would think all environmentalists would love him, but that isn't true.
See for example Emma Marris, who, like me, came out of UT Austin. In 2011, for the 40th anniversary
of The Lorax, she trashed him as a gloomy little “parody of a misanthropic ecologist”. So we have her
pegged already: a hire of the billionaires who hijacked the environmental movement back in 1970,
when they started the misnamed Earth Day. They should have called it Cloaked Merchants Day.
Marris gives TED talks and writes for Nature, so we know she isn't what she claims to be. Nature is
also up for a name change: maybe Anti-Nature. Denatured? Liars Monthly?

If the trees could talk, what would they say to the people?

Deuteronomy 20:19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt NOT cut them down to employ [them] in the siege (nor for market-economics)(for the tree of the field [is] man's [life] Oxygen):
20:20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they [be] not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
