I thought about what I know forsure and in the last month or so these are two things have stood out:
We are to spend our lives and....(on behalf of others)
Nothing is for certain (we just never know and usually it is not what we thought it would be)!

The banyan tree in Lahaina
"In the heart of Lahaina – on 2/3 of an acre – stands the Banyan tree, though at first glance many think it’s a small forest. It is, in fact, one tree that stands 50 feet tall and is nearly a quarter of a mile around and has over than 10 trunks that anchor it into the ground. The very nature of the Banyan tree is what makes it so magnificent. The tree grows by the roots that hang from its branches. These roots are like soil-seeking missiles, and when enough of them reach the soil, they thicken and provide another trunk to support the tree’s mass. Essentially, it grows upwards and outwards. Of course, the tree is now such a beloved part of the community that it receives a bit of man-made help with posts to keep the old tree standing."
I was so glad we made it to Lahaina Front street to see the Banyan
tree dressed in Christmas lights.
