Today was no exception to our adventures! We gathered our drill, a jug, a Bic pen, and some rope and headed to the farm. Once there, we went for a hike out to the "sugarbush," identified the maple trees, and tapped them to collect the maple sap.
It was great to watch the children pair up with the other kids and work together to successfully drill into the trees and install our homemade tree taps (the Bic pens). It was rewarding to watch the clear, sweet sap begin dripping into the collection jugs.
In a couple weeks, when the weather gets too warm for the sap to flow, we will take what we gathered and have a day of syruping--where we will cook the sap down to make maple syrup.
I'm amazed at how awesome God is! And isn't it incredibly ignorant that man can look at nature--in all its complexity---and think that any of this could have "just happened"? It is just crazy! Really.
The Bible tells us that all creation testifies of the Creator! Nature cries out and so many times we are too blind, too prideful, too busy to see for ourselves the wonder of the Creator--OUR Creator.
Today, the trees cried out to us. I heard. They sang of a God who is amazingly creative and yet resourceful. They sang of a God who loves beauty. They sang of a God who is the Perfect Engineer of all things created.
