Isn’t it interesting, maybe even ironic, that the maple trees are so productive, so fruitful, when they would seem to be the most dormant. While the sap runs so well, it would mostly seem to our eyes that nothing at all is happening. I wonder what God does within us during our dormant times, the times when, to human eyes, it would seem that we’re doing nothing at all . . . what God manages to work when we release ourselves to simply being. Perhaps, like the maple tree, life is running within us, anxious to produce fruit. May it be so, Lord, may it be so.
