Tree of Life

And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God, which led to the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life; which waters are a representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God.

1 Nephi 1:11

This present made me cry when my dad brought it out. He spent so much time making it for me. Can you believe that it is homemade? I was in shock and yet felt so grateful. I didn't realize it until that moment that what I was searching for was some extra love. I then remembered that God loved me and especially, that my Daddy loved me. He gave me a hug and held me for a long time. It was a blessed moment. This is going to be in my home forever. Kevin and I have had long discussions about where we're going to put it and I think the dining room table (once we buy one) may be the spot and we'll leave  it there all year long. 

"Hold to the rod, the iron rod. 

'Tis strong and bright and true. 

The iron rod, is the word of God."
