I passed it when I entered the parking space....but not when I left the parking space. I was SURE I was clear - and suddenly....WHOP! I was jarred and surprised at the same time! I hit the tree. Yep. I left my mark on the tree. Can you see where the bark is rather flattened inside the red circle? That's where I slammed the back of my car into it. I did it.
I got out of my car ... not believing what just happened! I finally notice the rear quarter panel was a little out of line....but basically not too much damage. All the way home I struggled with thoughts of the deductible....how to get it fixed...and what will it cost?
Upon arriving at my daughter's house, I pointed out the damage to my car. Suzette looked at it and before I knew what happened she popped the panel back into place! Wow. What a relief. I couldn't believe she did that!! My problem was solved! Man, was I happy.
My car is fine. But, I certainly left my mark on that tree. Of course, no one will ever know! Each time I go to Nebo I see that tree and remember the time I knocked the fool out of it. I didn't hurt the tree. But it scared me. I am very careful now - I watch for skinny trees on the mountain. Lol.
Every life leaves a mark....somewhere.... or on someone, good or bad.
Jesus certainly left His mark on this world. It was never the same after He came, died, and rose again. He left His mark on my life, too.
As I watch society attempting to erase all signs of God and His Son, Jesus, my heart is grieved. They will never be able to eradicate Jesus. Never! It's too late. He has already left His mark on this world.
Around the first coming inscribe the word HUMILTY in letters large and bold. Around His second coming inscribe the word GLORY so that all the world may see. Nothing could be more natural than a triumphant return of our victorious Lord. Though He was once “despised and rejected of men,” He will one day return “in power and great glory,” heralded by angels and accompanied by his saints.
He is....
