healing of the nations

5/6/10 Part of my meditation this morning comes from the final scene in our Bible, the Revelation to John, chapter 22, where the vision is of a river of life and a tree of life. The tree produces fruit year round. And the part I like best is "and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations." We are a global village where what happens around the world is almost instantly communicated. Earthquakes, wars, famines, oil spills, oppression, and the litany of woes goes on...are piled upon us. I could get overwhelmed by all of this negativity, but I try to use the sharing of this information as a clal to prayer. May this vision of God's intent for us come true--that there is a tree of life where the leaves are for the healing of the nations.

Love,
Lynn
