You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12
This may be a hard picture to see, what we are about to explain to you, but those that have been to our home can maybe understand a bit better, but believe me, what we are saying is very neat.
Luke our oldest son, said "wow, thats almost creepy". We think its wonderful, but what do you expect from a 14 year old?
In this photo (of our kitchen) we have on the right on the edge of the counter our small kitchen stereo where we play lots (almost everyday) Christian music - Newsboys, Toby Mac, Petra, KeithGreen, TFK , Disciple to Chris Tomlin and many of the newest tunes as well.
Anyway, you get my point, lots of music actually lots of praise and christian music!
The plants are on the opposite side (directly across) from the mini stereo.
If you can actually look at these plants they are all leaning (there are about 5 of them and all different) towards the stereo - towards the music! They are growing and, reaching, if you will to the praise!
The picture doesn't really do it justice, but its real neat to see!
We know that in heaven, the plants and flowers sway with music and the entire place
is alive with joy and melody and song.
We also know that George Washington Carver, (look him up on google, if you never heard
about this incredible man). Invented hundreds of products and held patents on the peanut
and many other items. Was best friends with Edison, who in the early 1900's asked Carver
to work for him, offering him $100,000.00 to do it.
Carver, was a devout believer in JESUS, and as a scientist would talk to the LORD (Prayer)
and also talk to the plants and talk to the LORD about HIS creation and the plants.
Carver said it something like this: 'what you love, opens up to you, and reveals itself to you'.
Anyway, there is much to learn about love and joy - two fruit of the SPIRIT.
Which means they are part of GOD'S SPIRIT (what HE is like, a part of HIM).
