This old slab is from a 730 year old Douglas Fir. Imagine all the generations of people who came and went during the lifetime of this tree.
730 years seems like a long time but it’s really just a little blip in history.
It seems like we’ve been waiting a long time for Jesus to return but it’s an even smaller blip compared to eternity.
In the meantime, we can hold onto His promise:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be with me. You know the place where I am going.”
John 14:1-4 (NIV)
