Tucked into the Root of Jesse

Tucked into the Root of Jesse,

Anchored there by wooden grain;

Feeding on the bark of crosses,

Nourished by the Saviour’s vein.

I love the warmth and richness of moss and lichen, Melody. We might not have much snow on our trees – but there’s plenty of green growing! And what a blessing to be “Tucked into the Root of Jesse”. Lovely poem!

Blessings ~ Wendy

Thanks Wendy. It’s a lovely thought, to be tucked in somewhere safe and secure, isn’t it?

  Yes, “He who is in us is stronger than he who is in the world.” is a thought that I often tuck into when I’m threatened to be overwhelmed…
