I was on my way to class today and i saw a bucket on tree that said "do not distrub." I then noticed that tree was being sapped. I was so intrigued to know why this fluid flows from trees. So i googled! I came to find out that sap is a fluid inside a plant that carries food and water to different parts of the tree and is critical for its growth. Sap outside of a tree is usually a sign of "injuries, imperfections, on the surface of the bark," or insect attacks and infections. I just marveled at God his and magnificance! How his creations mirror each other. I say that because we as humans at times are tree being sapped or just have the sap falling down on us. The sap is like our tears. We cry when we are sick, injured our when we are hurt. That's a sign that something is not right or doesnt feel right, an imperfection. But the great thing is that the sap from trees can be used to make latex, rubber, to repair things and my favorite to make SYRUP!!! How sweet is that!! This lets me know that God can use my tears of hurt, sadness or sickness to help others. To make my life sweeter!! The things that we go through in life happen so that no only we can grow, but others who see our "SAP" can also grow.
