«The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.» Psalm 92:12
Have you ever seen a palm tree? It is an amazing tree! It all starts with a small seed planted in the ground. Then it turns into a little seedling. Each day, its leaves grow very green and long towards the sky, until what was once a little seed becomes a majestic palm tree.
Some palm trees have tall, straight trunks, while others have more curved shapes. Palm trees need sun, water, and good soil to grow healthy. Ahh, the palm trees, even when it is windy, they stay with their trunk firmly on the ground, swaying the leaves, but resisting the wind.
Today's verse teaches that you, dear child, can be like that, too: beautiful, majestic and strong, like a palm tree in God's garden!
God wants you to grow up happy, but when you feel sad, He will help you be happy again because He loves you and is your best friend! Walk with your best Friend every day!
Let's practice!
Plant the seed of a palm tree in a pot. Do not forget to add water. And when it grows a little bit, let it sunbathe too. Take good care of your little plant!
